Let’s make the tool easier to use

Lucas was showing our Trio team a tool he was building for hiring. I was excited. We had a lot of ideas for what it could do.

Then I looked at how much was on the screen and started thinking about Julieta. She would use the tool to work with people applying for jobs at Trio. Would she be able to find what she needed?

There was too much to sort through. The key details were hard to find fast. Adding more things to the screen would give her more things to look at, but would it help her do her job?

I wanted Lucas and the rest of our team to focus on the main job first. Get the parts working together. Help Julieta find what she needs. We could come back to some of the design details later.

I get caught up in this too. AI tools help us write software, so we can try more ideas. And the more I build, the more ideas I have. It’s exciting to see something work that was only a thought a little while ago.

But Julieta still has a job to do. She shouldn’t have to sort through all our ideas to do it.

I want to keep that excitement about building. I also want to come back to the question I had in that meeting: when Julieta opens this tool, will her next step be easier?
