A repost of an article on AI engineering teams argues that smaller teams can move much faster: two FDEs rebuilt a FedEx-related delivery orchestration platform’s invoicing system in 3.5 months, versus an estimated 7–8 months for a full rewrite, with 122 merged pull requests.
The takeaway is that AI-era engineering is reshaping team structure and delivery speed, with the article framing compact, highly leveraged teams as the new advantage.
