Garry Tan: Forget the Org Chart, Hire Robots Instead
YC boss Garry Tan just dropped a spicy take: one human plus 20 AI agents working at once can out-code an entire engineering department at a top tech giant. It's the latest volley in Silicon Valley's favorite new sport, AI versus headcount, and it doubles as a pitch for why lean startups might now out-build lumbering big tech orgs. Tan's framing treats a markdown file like an employee, a wild signal of how fast org charts are getting rewritten by software.
Cool story, tell it to the 20 engineers about to get 'restructured'.
