Because I’m apparently a megalomaniac…

…I’m going to post my own blog here to gin up some discussion. 😄
(But stick with me — it’s actually about you.)

I wrote a post recently inspired by a totally non‑tech moment from my former life in a Charleston test kitchen: a sauce almost failing because someone forgot to leave out a knob of butter. No lack of talent. No bad recipe. Just… a tiny capacity miss that snowballed.

And the more I thought about it, the more it felt like fundraising right now.

A few ideas I explore:

• The real bottleneck for most teams isn’t strategy — it’s capacity. Time, focus, follow‑through. That’s where things quietly break.
• “Automation” is kind of the wrong word for AI in relationship work. The goal isn’t doing less human stuff — it’s making it easier to do the right human stuff consistently.
• The best analogy for agentic AI might be extra hands, not a robot takeover. Like someone in the kitchen who knows what’s coming next, preps ahead, and stays out of the way — with you still in charge.

This is very much how we’re thinking about Agents for Good™ and Development Agent: AI as support, not replacement. Capacity expansion, not burnout acceleration. Butter ready when you need it.

💬 I’d love your take:
Where do capacity constraints show up most for your team today?
And if you did have an extra set of (trusted) hands — what would you want them working on first?

Drop your thoughts below. I’m genuinely curious.
