A lot of business value isn't in the document itself. It's in the workflow around it.

Approvals, handoffs, trust, compliance, collaboration, history, distribution, decision-making.

The file is often just the transport layer.

I increasingly describe AI as part of the workflow, not the author of the work.

In my experience logs are rarely enough for browser automation issues.

I usually end up reproducing the actual session manually because timing/state problems often don’t show up clearly in logs.

I’m increasingly acting more like an orchestrator/reviewer than someone writing everything from scratch.

AI dramatically speeds up implementation, but constraints/product judgment still seem very human-heavy.

I’ve started using different models for different stages.

GPT mostly for product direction and positioning discussions. Codex for implementation-heavy changes and large refactors. v0 more for landing page structure / UI iteration.

I still find product judgment and SEO decisions require a lot of manual thinking though.

Just like in the Age of Electricity, the Age of Steam, and the Internet Age, there will always be people like you who complain.

I believe our focus is on knowledge itself, rather than on where it originates.
