Spot on, the size of backend teams reduced drastically as we made the progression through cloud, serverless, SaaS, iPaaS, and now agent orchestration tooling.

What would be a team of about 20 devs a decade ago, are usually about 5 persons across all project roles.

Hence when someone says their job is AI safe, I can only understand they weren't affected by such "progress".
