Summary

Agreeing on an idea doesn't mean you both understood the same thing. Dave Sharrock and Peter Maddison dig into why shared context breaks down in practice, and how AI makes that problem harder to ignore.

This week's takeaways:

  • Intent is always imperfect. Define how you'll validate it, not just what it is.
  • Ambiguity in context isn't a bug. It's necessary. Validation is how you confirm you're aligned.
  • Drive down the cost of validation, not just the cost of building.
