## Summary

Every republishes Katie Parrott's July piece on deciding which AI workflows to keep, redesign, revisit, or retire, following its Thesis: 2027 conference. Parrott says a solution that fails today may work later as new tools abstract away technical difficulty or fit a workflow better. She cites Tend, a Codex-native system Dan Shipper built to pull email, Slack, meeting notes, and company updates into one place, which she initially thought she did not need.
