Velocity Sickness: What Happens When Your Whole Team Gets 10x Faster — Matt Dailey, Ref.
Matt Dailey describes "velocity sickness" — the problem where AI tools make a team much faster without the output actually having impact.
A newsletter writer produced one book per week with AI help, but the audience didn't read much of it. On engineering teams, there are too many code changes to review simultaneously, and decisions are made by AI agents instead of humans who understand the consequences. Dailey's solution is to separate decision-making from implementation: use shared documents for decisions (not chat histories that disappear), so agents become stateless and the team regains control.
