You Need AI That Reduces Maintenance Costs

Short-term wins compound into long-term misery (another thought similar to Let a 1,000 flowers bloom but darker). It’s critical that Eng doesn’t become the bottleneck because it’s so painful to fix the engine while it’s running. Maintaining the system for the long term requires a lot of rigor. More so now because of the increase in output velocity.

Engineering is responsible for the feasibility of the product, which means weighing the short-term/long-term tradeoffs. Short term wins aren’t necessarily bad. But they’re usually not free, it’s just the future company/product that is paying.
