Read a super interesting paper by McEntire lately, “The Organizational Physics of Multi-Agent AI”.

In short, he proved that even AI agents exhibit all the dysfunctions one would normally attribute to human shortcomings / politics / laziness etc.

Either way, I think the point is strong: if the organization is bad, you end up doing mostly work about work which is exhausting.

Small, effective teams with super high accountability are more fun, but don't look "reproducible" or "repeatable".

Shameless plug on my take: https://www.menge.io/blog/where-to-cut/
