dotey · x · 2026-08-23
The post contrasts development timelines: a project taking a month a decade ago now takes a day with AI assistance. The core argument distinguishes individual efficiency from organizational efficiency.

- AI's ultimate value lies in empowering those who can define problems and integrate resources, giving them the ability to deliver complete results that previously required a team weeks of coordination.
