In this brief commentary, the speaker argues that the adoption of AI tools has not shortened the length of the workday; employees are still staying in the office as late as before. However, AI has raised the expectations for what can be delivered, effectively increasing the amount of work expected from each person. A key benefit highlighted is the reduction of communication bottlenecks: AI enables product managers to directly inspect the codebase, streamlining collaboration. The overall claim is that AI allows teams to "do more with more," meaning higher output with the same or greater resources, which the speaker views as a substantial improvement.

Just because we have AI doesn't mean people leave earlier. People are still at the office for as late as they were before, but the expectation of what they can ship is much higher. The attacks on communication, and that has dramatically decreased because now I can have my product managers look at the codebase directly. And so I think in fact what it allows you to do is it allows you to do more with more. I think being able to do more with more is substantially better.
