jeff_weinstein · x · 2026-09-02
Jeff Weinstein observes that the "clock speed" of small technical teams equipped with a fleet of agents is hard to explain to outsiders.
Key Insight:
- Startups (and a handful of elite teams at big companies) are now testing and going live with new Stripe products in less time than it used to take just to schedule the kickoff meeting.
- This highlights the qualitative efficiency boost brought by AI Agents in real-world engineering workflows, significantly compressing the cycle from testing to deployment.
