I really would like to be a fly on wall during these executive meetings? Here is what i realized.

Spaghetti code written by 5 developers will need 5 + 1 developers to manage.

Same in the AI age spaghetti systems built by agents, will need a greater agent to untangle the mess that itself has created

I would replace the eng. managers

Soon this equation will not be posed just for engineers.

Another option is to replace en existing engineer with someone of greater talent.

Hire an engineer and buy a beefy GPU. The foundation models aren't better enough to justify their high costs over open models.
