Can AI-as-it-currently-is save FTEs? Sure: but, again, there's a template for that: {{How Many}} -- 1% of your org chart? 10%? In my case it's around 0.5% right now.

Or, to reframe it a bit: can AI pay Sam A's salary? Sure! His stock options? Doubtful. His future plans? Heck nah!



400-800%. That is to say, I am hiring 4x-8x fewer developers for the same total output (measured in burn down progress, not AI-biased metrics like kLOC).
