This is a running production service. The team was reduced to just these 2, per the lead's instuction.
The closest I can explain this phenomenon to thos who are surpised was by the LLM variance section in this recent blog post:
It could be that the team was oversized and wasting time in meetings and AI has nothing to do with that.
Welcome to majority of the teams in our industry.
In my previous job I was working much and doing few meetings. Then USA management decided we should have 10x more meetings, because they need to know the progress hour by hour and see that green bar progress, but also somehow expected the same pace.
