Paul Graham reposted a long essay by Replit co-founder Amjad Masad titled "The Self-Driving Company," discussing what happens when a company learns to operate on its own.
The author notes that over the past 6 months, code output by Replit engineers has nearly tripled, while review times have remained stable and rework/rollbacks haven't spiraled out of control. The article argues that the point isn't about how strong a single model is, but rather how organizational efficiency can be redefined when humans direct the strategy and agent teams execute in parallel.
It's a case study covering enterprise AI adoption, workflow restructuring, and the vision of a "self-driving company."
