If I asked you whether outputs or outcomes were more important, which would you choose? My guess is that you’d choose outcomes. If I asked about your employer’s preference, perhaps you’d feel that they talk a lot about outcomes (confidence, satisfaction, quality), but seem to value outputs (features, releases, sales) more.

In this session, Seb Rose, Consultant, Claysnow Software will explore the ancient paradox of making haste slowly, from the construction of prehistoric stone circles through to software development using agentic AI.

I hope that I’ll be able to convince you that, even though the building of Stonehenge may seem to have nothing in common with pressure to use Claude Code, an aspiration to “do something well” is an essential prerequisite for delivering successful outcomes affordably in both contexts.

I’ll go further to argue that to “do something well” some sort of living specification is required to drive the work that’s being done.
