There are a lot of posts claiming that advances in technology over the past decade or two have been leading to "productivity gains". But the economic data simply doesn't support these claims. Productivity growth has stalled in most of the developed world.

I like the way tech companies operate. I like slack. We don't use P2 but it looks interesting. I just don't really believe it'll turbo charge productivity at my company, much less at a more traditional company.

I'm going to avoid saying anything one way or the other about AI because that would be a separate argument.
