Linear cofounder Karri Saarinen argues that good software contains its makers’ judgment and a coherent perspective that a feature list alone cannot explain. Intuition, in this account, is not disregard for data but understanding accumulated through long engagement with users and products. He warns that quickly adding AI-built features without a common direction can fragment the product experience. This is the author’s product-development commentary, not a quantitative research finding; related searches did not locate separate validation directly addressing the argument.
