> So, in a sense, I now do have a team.

In another, more accurate sense: no, you have a tool, not a team. A very useful tool, but a tool nonetheless.

If you believe you have a team, try taking a two week vacation and see how much work your team does while you're gone.

There is a new continuum. "Team" is just a convenient word to emphasize that "Tools" are moving significantly in the "Teams" direction.

The post emphasizes the degree this is true/not.

Different people are going to emphasize changing attributes of new situations using different pre-existing words/concepts. That's sensible use of language.

No, it's clickbait and that's why this submission got flagged, sorry.

A team is comprised of people. Being able to prompt an LLM to create a pull request based on specifications is very useful, but it's not a team member, the same way that VSCode isn't a team member even though autocomplete is a massive productivity increase, the same way that pypi isn't a team member even though a central third party dependency repository makes development significantly faster than not having one.

If this article were "I get a massive productivity boost from $41.73/month in developer tools" it'd be honest. As it is, it's dishonest clickbait.

As the saying goes, there is no "AI" in "Team".

That is not a clickbait title. It is normal use of language, and the articles contents are not surprising or misleading relative to the title.

Titles don't need to be pedantic.

Exactly.
