Tales for AI Times : The Final Code [Tale #4]

Tales for AI Times: The Final Code  [Tale no. 4]

Moh, an expert app developer, had spent five years building cutting-edge software at his company. But now, he was ready for a break—a long sabbatical to unwind and explore other opportunities.

The company’s CEO, impressed by Moh's work over the years, asked him for one final favour before he left. CEO asked him to develop a new app for their Q-commerce division.

Although Moh’s mind was already halfway into his vacation, he reluctantly agreed. The CEO trusted Moh so much that he gave him full freedom on the project—no managers, no oversight. Moh just had to deliver the app.

Wanting to finish quickly and move on, Moh hurried through the project. He cut corners, skipped some of the usual testing, and delivered a product that was not quite up to his usual standards. Satisfied just to be done with it, he handed over the app and prepared for his departure.

On his farewell day, the CEO praised Moh's years of dedication and hard work. Then, with a smile, the CEO handed Moh a surprise gift. A folder containing a royalty deed. It stated that all the profits generated by the new app would go directly to Moh.

As the realization hit him, Moh was speechless. In his rush to quit, he had botched the app, and now, he would own the results of that final piece of work—good or bad.

Did this remind you of the story of the mason building his last house? In today’s tech-driven world, the lesson is still relevant - rushing through your work or not giving your best effort can come back to you in unexpected ways, especially when the results are ultimately yours to keep.

Testimonial - Sartorius sessions

170 people believed in it but…
Won’t practice!

It’s not just the story of those 170 people. In every session, nearly every participant says they agree, but about 95% won’t follow through!

What is it?
Meditation!

Everyone believes meditation is good for overall well-being, yet most don’t practice it regularly. Reasons vary – lack of time, discomfort with certain systems, or mainly, a misunderstanding of what meditation truly is.

In my stress management sessions, I help participants understand the real meaning of meditation and offer micro-practices they can use anytime, anywhere. These practices respect the customs, cultures, and traditions of all participants, making them suitable for organizations embracing DEI.

Recently, I conducted three sessions at Sartorius, engaging drivers, shop floor employees, and executives. I am grateful for the positive feedback received from their HR team (screenshot attached), especially their mention of how the strategies have already impacted daily routines.

Isn’t this the result every trainer hopes for?

Tales for AI Times - The Curios App Developer

Tales for AI Times: The Curious App Developer

Tale # 3

In a city buzzing with cutting-edge technology, there lived a talented app developer named Moh. He had just launched Serenify, an app designed to help users manage stress with simple micro-practices.

Despite its success, Moh was plagued by self-doubt. Were users really happy with the app, or were they simply not speaking up about any issues?

Instead of asking for direct feedback, Moh devised a more subtle plan. He created an anonymous social media account and began posting rants about the app to gauge user reactions.

Post 1 (Anonymous):
"Can’t believe how hard it is to download Serenify. Has anyone else struggled with this? What a headache!"

Moh eagerly watched the replies roll in:

"Downloaded it in no time. Super easy!"
"Works fine for me, not sure what you’re talking about."
"No issues here—smooth as butter!"

It seemed users had no problem downloading the app. But Moh wasn’t satisfied yet. He decided to check the usability next.

Post 2 (Anonymous):
"Okay, downloaded it somehow, but now the mindfulness feature is glitchy. It’s frustrating! How is this supposed to help anyone relax?"

Again, users responded positively:

"What? I’ve been using that feature daily—works perfectly."
"No glitches here. Maybe it’s your phone?"
"This feature is the reason I keep coming back to the app. No complaints!"

Moh still wasn’t convinced. Maybe there was an issue with payments—something users were hesitant to talk about?

Post 3 (Anonymous):
"Anyone else find the payment process broken? Tried to upgrade and couldn’t even make it through the payment screen. Pretty annoying!"

But the responses came in just as positively:

"Payment was fast and smooth for me!"
"Upgraded in seconds—no problems."
"I didn’t face any payment issues either. The process was seamless!"

With each post, Moh had secretly tested every aspect of his app—from downloads to functionality to payments.

To his surprise, every rant he posted was met with positive feedback and no real issues. His clever method of anonymous testing had worked; Serenify was performing well on all fronts.

His subtle tactic revealed exactly what he needed to know without asking directly: Serenify was performing well.

Satisfied, he smiled to himself. Sometimes, even in the age of AI and constant data, real feedback comes from listening to what’s unsaid.

Did this remind you of the classic story about the lawn mower boy who called his employer, posing as a stranger, and subtly got feedback about his work?
