    I very much agree; I think laziness / friction is basically a critically important regularizer for what to build and for what to not build. LLMs remove that friction and it requires more discipline now. (Wrote some of this up a while ago here: https://matthiasplappert.com/blog/2026/laziness-in-the-age-o... )
