AI shouldn't shrink headcount. It should shrink teams

AI lets orgs run smaller teams per initiative rather than cutting headcount.

AI lowers the cost of writing and reviewing code.
RevenueCat's "Office of the CTO" small-team model, generalised org-wide.
The tradeoff is fragility — it needs strong individual contributors.

Is AI making your teams better, or just busier?

Argues AI usage metrics don't capture whether teams actually get better, and proposes outcome-based KPIs.

88% use AI but only 39% report EBIT impact — usage ≠ value.
Two KPIs: new outcomes unlocked, and how embedded AI is in the workflow.
Needs structural support (scorecards, skill repos), not just tool access.

Browsers and UIs are dead. Everything is chat (Wes Bos)

Wes Bos's JS Nation Amsterdam 2026 talk on agentic interfaces and Web MCP — pushing back on "chat replaces all UI".

Frames the "clicks vs clankers" tension: build AI into your site, or build your site so agents can use it directly.
Covers Web MCP as the mechanism letting agents use a site's existing capabilities instead of a bespoke chat UI.
Argues chat won't replace everything, but it reshapes the UI landscape.
