What's the problem?
July 15, 2025
If you’ve ever managed human beings, you know one of the great challenges is to properly explain what needs to be done.
No one can see inside our heads, and what is obvious to us is seldom obvious to other people.
When we get lazy, we ask people to fill in the gaps for us, and then we get frustrated when they don’t make exactly what we want.
In a world where AI will soon be able to create anything we can imagine (as long as we can properly explain it), we’re all going to have to get a lot better at explaining what we are trying to solve.
This exercise will benefit our communication for years to come.
