Having large teams in the age of AI is pointless. It slows things down and spreads accountability too thin.

When you have one good engineer doing many things, a lot of stuff lives in their head and they know what to look for in their own PRs. Also, people tend to like their own AI slop, but not others. So overall you will have at least an engineer who is satisfied with the codebase vs a lot of people who either have some gripe about something someone else did, or just don’t care at all.

That means you have to put way more trust in a single individual, but if it’s the right individual you propel the organization further ahead than a team of mediocre engineers or senior engineers limited in what they can accomplish.

Given that it's not happening, then it's probably just not a thing.

At scale, I imagine something similar to the Baseline Test in Bladerunner 2049.

Why take the web seriously? It’s more fun to be some ridiculous person. Of course, some people are genuine and this kind of behavior chews them up when they take it seriously.

But they go even a step further, they extend into 3 dimensions to also add body weight as a variable. So your graph would really have to be a 3D volume. Because different levels of body weight have different capabilities.
