Even With Teams of Agents, Companies Still Run on 10x Humans, Founder Observes
annbordetsky · x · 2026-10-09
annbordetsky argues that no matter how many agents you run or workloads you delegate, companies still run on 10x humans — exceptionally productive people whom the org keeps asking to do more. She recalls being frustrated that "special projects" always landed on her early in her career, and now sees it as a compliment and sign of trust. Takeaway: know and value your 10x people; human leverage remains core in the AI era.
