Because software delivery isn’t a speed race — it’s a relay.
Teams optimize the runners, but the real delays come from the baton: the waiting.
High utilization creates queues, queues create delays, and flow collapses.
If this sounds familiar, try this:

Work feels slow even though everyone is constantly busy?
That’s not a people issue — it’s flow physics.

🚨 Most features are wasted.
In the age of AI, we’re not just scaling value — we’re scaling waste.
⚠️ 70–90% of software features never get used.That’s not inefficiency — it’s a silent killer of innovation and morale.

Every roll of Green Aware compostable bags I’ve ever bought is deeply frustrating to open. Refuse to believe they are not ‘aware’ (both puns deliberate).
