> When you add many humans to a project, the result becomes greater than the sum of its parts. When you add many AI tools to a project, it quickly becomes a muddled mess.

I have absolutely been on projects where there were too many cooks in the kitchen, and adding more people to the team only led to additional chaos, confusion, and complexity. Ever been in a meeting where a designer, head of marketing, and the CTO are all giving feedback on what size font a button should be? I certainly have, and it's absurd.

One of my worst experiences arose due to having a completely incompetent PM. Absolutely no technical knowledge; couldn't even figure out how to copy and paste a URL if his life depended on it. He eventually had to be be removed from a major project I was on, and I was asked to take over PM duties, while also doing my dev work. I was actually happy to do so, because I was already having to spend hours babysitting him; now I could just get the same tasks done without the political BS.

Could adding many AI tools to a project become problematic? Maybe. But let's not pretend throwing more humans at a project is going to lead to some synergistic promised land.
