Same dilemma as we’ve seen before : As companies keep adding people and velocity isn’t going up, it’s going down. Difference is it’s easier to add raw throughput with agents than ever.
im fully convinced that LLMs are not an actual net productivity boost (today)
they remove the barrier to get started, but they create increasingly complex software which does not appear to be maintainable
so far, in my situations, they appear to slow down long term velocity
