I don't know if "do everything manually and slowly so that you never have to set realistic expectations" is a great way to do business. Being worse at your job

I don't know if "do everything manually and slowly so that you never have to set realistic expectations" is a great way to do business. Being worse at your job on purpose isn't typically a great strategy.
It sounds to me like the commenter has found a subset of his work which can be sped up significantly with chatGPT and is using that to continue conversations with a potential client. Pretty cool if you ask me.

It’s how successful business is done. Marketing 101: Under promise, over deliver. P.S. Apple is quite good at this IMHO. I notice they often very quickly go from product announcement to product availability. My theory for why this is good is that there less time in between for people’s imagination to run wild and fill in the information gaps with their own ideas that the actual product might not satisfy. Expectations remain ground when their customers receive the product vs a product getting hyped to the moon such that it’s practically impossible for it to ever live up to the hype.
- code_runner 3y agoi'm not replying about the concept of under promise, over deliver, but more like.... why would you avoid a tool that helps you do something quickly because you don't want to explain to your client that some steps aren't as fast to do as others.
- toyg 3y agoYou wouldn't avoid the tool, just avoid surfacing it too explicitly - by being too fast or by explicitly boasting about it.
