PED teams now have only two roles: the one-person vibe-coding army and the scaler
_AustinCalvert_ · x · 2026-10-11
A widely shared take on AI-era team structure: PED (product, engineering, design) teams now need only two roles. "Slop Canon" — a one-person army who vibe codes at insane velocity, tests many hypotheses independently, lands value at a 10% hit rate, delegates to agents and users, and hates human alignment. "Grown-ups" — strategic cross-functional operators who turn validated insights into proper products with architecture, security and business alignment, at a 50%+ scaling hit rate.
