The post argues that the “default company” is getting smaller as AI removes layers of coordination, admin work, and execution that previously required teams.
The main claim is not that companies are becoming weaker, but that a much smaller group of people can now do the work that once needed a larger organization. The real question, it says, is no longer how big a company can grow, but how much a small team can accomplish.
