Giving away your Legos—again, this time to a team of agents

A widely shared post applies First Round's Molly Graham "give away your Legos" concept to the AI era.
- The original idea: to scale yourself, hand off pieces of your job—whole decisions, not just tasks—to new hires and resist clinging to what you built. The author learned this in 2020 running a 100-person startup where touching every decision stopped working past 50 headcount.
- Six years later, the author is learning to give away Legos again—except this time to a team of agents, suggesting automation's next step is delegating entire responsibilities to AI agents.
