The Fifty Million Dollar Question, Stop Transforming. Start Building.

Every leader I ask the fifty million dollar question gives the same answer. They would not build what they have now. They would start over from first principles with something smaller, leaner, and faster. That answer tells me whether they understand how software gets made, or whether they are just running the theater.

James, I want to tell you something personal. Not about the framework. Not about the model. About why I ask the question I ask.
