Ratios of developers to product managers, to QA engineers, to designers, to technical writers — all of these reflect an underlying assumption about where the production bottleneck sits. When that bottleneck moves, the ratios that were optimized for the old constraint become wrong. AI-assisted development has moved the bottleneck. For teams working effectively with generation tools, the constraint is no longer coding throughput.
