The Engineering Headcount Math Just Broke
AI coding agents broke the old headcount-equals-output math. Small senior teams can now outship larger orgs, but the leverage only holds if someone still owns verification.
In this video, I break down what changed, which parts of engineering work agents actually absorb, and why review queues are replacing raw code generation as the real constraint. The new leverage is real, but it belongs to teams that redesign around verification instead of assuming more output still means more people.
