AI's Enterprise Payoff Stalls on Coordination; Small End-to-End Teams Will Win
corbtt · x · 2026-09-08
Building on nichochar's analysis, corbtt argues AI underdelivers in big companies for two reasons: it's a transformative technology requiring organizational restructuring (often layoffs), and automation is worthless when teams are I/O-bound on coordination — meetings, approvals, waiting on customers. He predicts work will reorganize into small teams owning end-to-end stacks, accepting internal redundancy as a cost worth paying.
