Came across a great article by Pavel Samsonov on Interpassivity, and our current situation in design as companies continue to adopt and build on agentic LLMs.
AI did not usher in the phenomenon of interpassivity. It emerged under the flickering glow of the very first blinkenlights. But it has scaled the problem up to an unmanageable level, like it has every other problem in the industry.
Some other great quotes:
The feature factory approach was always pure self-indulgence: living out the fantasy that we could simply know the right thing to build, knock it out of the park on the first try, and then move on to the next feature — and somehow they would all add up to inevitable success. That we could get there from here, and the only thing stopping us was velocity.
Some great quotes and reference links in there!
What are you doing to remain engaged even at the speed AI is fulfilling requests?
