PFF’s Two-Engineer Agent Team Shipped 10x More Output

PFF CTO Mike Spitz argues that AI agents change the basic operating constraint of an engineering organization: the question is no longer how to make engineers faster, but how to make agents faster. In a three-month case study, he says two agent-heavy engineers shipped far more frequently than a ten-person team on the same codebase, with PFF measuring a 10x output gain per engineer and higher customer satisfaction. The result, in his account, was not the end of engineers but the removal of Scrum-era coordination rituals and a sharper split between agent-executed work and human judgment.
