“The UI is clean. The API is RESTful. The architecture diagram is beautiful. The outputs are wrong. Nobody checks because nobody on the team knows what correct outputs look like. They’ve never looked at the data. They’ve never computed a baseline.” https://leehanchung.github.io/blogs/2026/04/05/the-ai-great-leap-forward/

@jack story of my life 99% of companies work like this. Best case is if you implement monitoring everyone wants it nobody knows how to use it or what it tells you.

@jack Great article! Thanks for sharing. I found this interesting: > The stated goal is distilling your subject matter expertise. Turn the expert’s craft into the organization’s asset. What leadership actually wants is to convert individual human capital into organizational capital that survives any single employee’s departure. I wonder if employees could use this argument to start negotiating a price for this kind of capital transfer.

@jack I read this as "Teams are building demonware" and it seemed like a good name for it. I had to look twice to realize I was wrong. "Teams are building demoware — pretty interfaces, working endpoints, impressive walkthroughs — with zero validation underneath."
