> In my work, the bigger bottleneck to productivity is that very few people can correctly articulate requirements.

Totally agree. I’ve tried to explain this in many places: AI coding (and creative tools in general) will ultimately remain tools. Only people who can clearly and thoughtfully articulate requirements will be able to fully leverage them.

Another hot take: the “one-person company.” Headcount isn’t the key variable. With AI, the real constraint is how well you can understand a problem and clearly define a solution.

- If a problem can be clearly defined and fully understood by one person, then one person is enough to solve it.

- If a problem is more complex and requires two fundamentally different areas of expertise, then it will likely take two capable people to solve it—no more, no less.
