Wow that article made a hard right turn about halfway through.

"Most organizations improperly account for engineering teams and incorrectly consider both code and team growth to be assets when in fact they increase complexity..... but LLMs can fix all of this"

Wtf?

Measuring things that actually matter is a great way to improve clarity on a team, you can probably just stop reading this article at the halfway point.

EDIT:

Specifically this paragraph is insane

"The obvious objection is that code produced at that speed becomes unmanageable, a liability in itself. That is a reasonable concern, but it largely applies when agents produce code that humans then maintain. Agentic platforms are being iterated upon quickly, and for established patterns and non-business-critical code, which is the majority of what most engineering organizations actually maintain, detailed human familiarity with the codebase matters less than it once did. A messy codebase is still cheaper to send ten agents through than to staff a team around. And even if the agents need ten days to reason through an unfamiliar system, that is still faster and cheaper than most development teams operating today. The liability argument holds in a human-to-human or agent-to-human world. In an agent-to-agent world, it largely dissolves."
