LT Kenzie Woodbridge
summary
Claims that “trying harder” is a brittle response to scarcity and names the mechanism: substitution of effort for time with concrete examples — deadlines traded for intensity, budgets traded for unpaid overtime, developer work traded for support or documentation, user time traded for product fixes. Offers practical organizational moves: prioritize spending, reduce waste, and retain the ones you have via non‑monetary supports and conflict management. Watch if wanting frameworks and tactical fixes; skip if seeking hard numbers or case-study metrics.
