Jay and Andrew challenge common assumptions, showing how context matters: sometimes batching wins, sometimes ergonomics matter more than cycle time, and often the biggest gains come from reducing friction for the operator, not chasing theoretical efficiency. Plus: the perfect keyboard, how to get that most out of a conference or summit, and more.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/l0HRpcWxem4SttHPzNHN8VZMGUfK3kzum5Ti3LbVDqg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ1MTkwLzE2OTUw/OTcxOTUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
