I think that captures a lot of the LLM debate.

There are people who just want an object produced that allows for some outcome to be achieved closer to the present.

And there are other people who want to ensure that object that is produced, will be maintainable, not break other parts of the system etc.

Neither party is wrong in what they want. I think there should naturally be a split of roles - the former can prototype stuff so other individuals in the organisation can critique whether it is a thing of value / worth investing in for production.

me and my team have wasted so many hours (days) working on some product features which was "definitely going viral" only to be forgotten after a few weeks

I believe if we had something like this we could go to market early and understand the user behaviour to build a more scalable and robust system once we were sure if it was even of worth

Yeah thats a good example.

The reality is humans are really bad at knowing what is worth investing into.. until the object is there for all to see and critique.

Every idea sounds great until you spend resources getting into the subtleties and nuances.
