Why it matters
As agent tooling reshapes what a 'good engineer' does, it also reshapes team size and cost structure, useful context for readers thinking about the human side of an AI-heavy engineering budget.
The tokenmaxxing angle
The link is indirect: this is a hiring/org-design panel, not a cost talk, but its framing on 'what kind of engineers' and 'what small teams can ship' with AI bears directly on running agent-assisted teams.
