I think I like this article and I haven't finished it yet, but I don't think the bottleneck has shifted to non-human with the advent of agentic AI. It's still the human (deciding what product direction to take, reviewing code, etc)

Yes this is my observations. Task chunking, Sprints, MVPs - A lot of this exists because it makes the human process simpler to go through but now this is not the limitation anymore. Deciding what to do what will drive value was always the most important thing and it now became more critical than ever.

Correct. The constraint is the human’s ability to internalize and make tradeoffs. This will continue to shift and there will be fewer decisions that rely on humans relative to the work being completed, but the humans will still remain the constraint in many types of complex work for some time to come.

And also fuck scrum and purist agile too.
