It’s not like this is a factory floor where you process something coming in and AI suddenly makes the process more efficient and people are idle. Every team in tech world has infinite backlog, you don’t fire 20% the minute someone manages to close a few tickets.

I have non-tech friends who struggle to understand this, because they literally clear their entire backlog of work every single day they're at work.
