We're entering an era where AI agents write code proposals, pitch decks, articles, architecture docs — all of it. Fast. Plausible. Confident.
And that's exactly why taste is what will matter — in engineering and in business, for founders and for teams, technical or not.
Not taste as in "I prefer minimal UI." Taste as in: this is good, this is bad, this will survive, this will rot — before you can fully explain why.
That feeling has a name people use interchangeably: intuition. I think intuition is taste. Same thing. Gut feel earned the hard way.
