That makes no sense. If that were really true then they could’ve saved a bundle and did that same thing years ago before AI.

The promise of AI gains with fewer people is what's triggering this - before, you needed ~1 coder to do ~1 unit of work. Suits now think you only need 1 coder to do X units of work because LLMs.

So no, they couldn't do the same thing years ago.
