At 07:02, 宝玉 (@dotey) revisits Conway's law and Brooks's surgical-team idea, then applies both to AI-assisted software work. His proposal is a delivery unit in which one person defines the problem, makes the architecture decisions, and directs a group of agents that write code, tests, documentation, and routine refactors. Dotey also keeps a limit in view: faster execution does not expand the human ability to hold a large system's design in mind. The post had 398 likes and 75 reposts. 1
