Ask HN: Why is everyone in search of peak productivity?
Why is "getting more done" so important? Isn't this an opportunity for people to reflect on _why_ they are doing things instead of just how much they can do?
I keep wondering what the ideal future state is for these people? It appears to be a frenzied battalion of agent-FTEs out interacting with other agents, spitting out mediocre thoughts, products and services at break-neck speed.
The obvious answer is that productivity = money, but as a developer myself, the recent acceleration of AI tools has instead made me much more reflective and inclined to step-back, slow down and think rather than rush forward.
