This article reflects on a podcast interview with Notion's Head of Product, discussing the tension between rapid AI-driven feature development and maintaining software quality. It argues that while AI tools increase software quantity, reliability and engineering rigor are often neglected. The author stresses the importance of 'engineering'—ensuring products work for millions—and 'craft' in design, rather than just shipping features. The piece calls for balancing AI adoption with human-centered design and long-term quality, warning against losing sight of user needs amid tech hype.
