Definitely put your finger on what I’ve been feeling.
> What AI did was give every engineer a small team of tireless, fast, occasionally-wrong direct reports. And with the team came the manager’s problem.

What fascinates me is that the idea is not really a novel finding, plenty of people are making the same observation.

"Welcome to our world" is not giving any help.
