What's the main productivity killer for developers? Context switching. You send a colleague a "quick" Slack message. Takes you 5 seconds, but it costs them 23 minutes to get back into deep focus. Now imagine this happening 5-10 times a day. Your best engineers aren't shipping slow.

Stack Overflow didn't just get replaced by AI It literally trained its own replacement There was a time when coding meant hitting a wall... and opening 5 tabs of Stack Overflow, desperately searching for that one green-ticked answer from 2012
