I agree with this. The stack seems to become:

LLM worker > Harness, Agents w/ skills > Human oversight/input

This is similar in structure to many teams I work with, something like:

Dev/SE/etc > PO > Manager/Director

Or whatever your current org structure relates. The LLM worker and Harness/Agents compact down to one human layer.

Now with MOE LLMs, the LLM layer is breaking into like:

LLM worker > LLM router > Harness, Agents w/ skills > Human oversight/input

Does that mean the Human element can be condensed to a single Manager with the right skills? A Director above them? Is the VP above them directing the agents?

Is this another variation of Conway's law, where orgs design systems that copy their own communication structure? Seems like that is how my Manager/Director approach it. Then again, they are making slide shows and obviously AI assisted reports, not something that needs to be stable and responsive for the entire product lifetime.

But to your point, the manager sees it as a structure to manage to increase productivity. The craftsman sees it as a tool to further their craft. Each is driven by a different methodology and use case. Can that mesh unless specifically directed to throw AI at no joy work?
