If you want to go fast, go alone. AI just made everyone fast, so everyone is going alone.
- With cohesive pieces to own and clean boundaries, everyone sprints and their changes compose. Without that, people trip over each other in the same parts of the system.
- You can measure how far each person's work drifts before it comes back together, and how often the same files are pulled different ways at once.
- A team moving fast with no shared direction is diverging, and the coordination cost compounds.
