I think ClickUp gets the dubious honour of being my least favourite piece of software of all time.
Super slow to load, clunky, unbelievably overcomplicated, packed with trackers and unnecessary JS, etc. It almost makes JIRA look like a single page static site by comparison. It is absolutely gopping to use, and appears to treat the Unix philosophy of "do one thing and do it well" as anathema. ClickUp does 400 things. Poorly.
The threat of turning that up to "100X" fills me with genuine dread. How much worse is it going to get for us poor folk that are stuck with it?
- THE 100X ORGANIZATION
The common narrative is that AI makes everyone more productive. It doesn't. Many of the workflows of today, if left unchanged, create bottlenecks in AI systems.
- THE BUILDERS: 10X ENGINEERS
If your best engineers are spending time reviewing other people's code, then this is inherently an inefficient bottleneck. These engineers can review their agent's code much faster than reviewing human code.
- THE BUILDERS: 10X PRODUCT MANAGERS
The bottleneck of user research is gone. It takes us just one mention of an agent to kickoff research and analyze results.

Clickup is trash tier software and it seems obvious from this beyond-delusional post that it is going to get significantly worse.
