## AI overview

The article argues that AI-assisted coding shifts the main constraint in software organizations from code production to coordination. It proposes applying distributed-systems ideas such as partitioning and shared-nothing architecture to codebases and team workflows, with small, focused components helping teams manage concurrent changes.

## Source excerpt
