The generalist advantage - part two - the cycle collapsed

The breakthrough isn’t just that you can code faster. It’s that the gap between thinking and shipping collapsed.

The cycle looks like this now: start the morning brainstorming and thinking of ideas, building hypotheses, doing the POC or prototype. After lunch you build and ship. The day after you look at the outcome. Each day can become a sprint.

That used to take weeks and now it takes a day.

Projects that used to be blocked by priorities aren’t anymore because you can build ten different landing pages and ten different A/B tests and ship them all in one day. You can test the hypothesis instead of debating it.

I’ve built Shopify apps in 30 minutes and campaign sites in an hour. These are real products that solve real problems, not just demos to show off the technology.

The constraint wasn’t just coding speed. It was the whole machinery of getting from “what if we tried this” to “here’s what happened when we tried it.”

You can finally execute on product intuition at the speed you think.
