Engineer case study: 5 engineers ship architecture migration in 2.5 months
tenobrus · x · 2026-08-23
An engineer shares a case study from their previous job: with AI coding assistance, a team of 5 completed a large-scale architecture shift and product V2 of an event-sourced bio-analysis app (double-digit million ARR) in 2.5 months. Previously, such a project would have required 10 engineers over 6+ months. The author notes that while this isn't highly OOD, it reflects the reality of most software work. They also mentioned positive experiences reimplementing a Minecraft clone with improved architecture.
