AI & Work
How AI changes roles, teams, and what skills matter
The reflex when a team speeds up is to add specialists. AI flips it. The team that ships next is smaller, owns the whole workflow, and runs what it builds.
Full site redesign, end to end: design system, admin stack, the lot. Four calendar days, one person, two evenings plus a weekend of real work. The interesting bit isn't the speed. It's what the new ship velocity asks of teams.
Klarna automated two-thirds of customer service, cut resolution times by 82%, then admitted quality suffered. The real story isn't about AI failing.
It took a month to build and four months to get permission. Growing teams don't move faster. They just spend more time asking for approval.
The cost of building software is collapsing. The cost of not knowing what to build is compounding. Every knowledge worker now faces the same challenge engineers have struggled with for decades.
The real value of AI isn't cutting headcount. It's giving your best people the one thing they never had: time to think, explore, and scale what they already know.
