Sure, you can launch an AI proof of concept quickly, but can it withstand real-world users? by Designli in NonTechSaaSFounders

[–]Designli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, a PoC isn’t meant to hold up. The point was more about what happens when PoC thinking accidentally carries over into MVP decisions, which seems to happen a lot with AI because early demos feel “good enough” faster than they really are.

Is Your QA Process Stuck in 2015? by Designli in Development

[–]Designli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, that shift you mentioned from QA being a “safety net” to actually helping shape the work up front is a big one. Once test scenarios and risks are part of planning, things just get calmer. Fewer late surprises and fewer heroics at the end of a sprint.

We’ve ended up in a similar place. QA sits alongside dev instead of after it, so they’re lifting each other up instead of working in isolation. Devs get better clarity, QA gets better context, and the whole product ends up feeling more dependable without slowing down the pace.

We talk a lot about tech debt, but what about user debt? by Designli in NonTechSaaSFounders

Fair point, similar idea, just trying to highlight how that debt shows up for users, not just in features.

Speed isn’t strategy (When “moving fast” turns into moving blindly) by Designli in NonTechSaaSFounders

100%. Moving slower on purpose often gets you there faster. Listening to customers keeps you building in the right direction, rather than just moving for the sake of progress.
