Latent Space: 'The Last 4 Jobs in Tech' — Post-AI Org Chart Mental Model from WoW Raid Composition
Latent Space·medium signal
Swyx's March 31 AINews digest frames post-AI company structures through Yoni Rechtman's (99D Substack) and Karri Saarinen's (Linear CEO) thesis that future tech teams will organize like MMO raid compositions — small, specialized, AI-augmented roles replacing monolithic hierarchies. The piece aggregates several builder-relevant data points: Claude Code computer use enabling closed-loop UI verification, Shopify citing a $5.5M-to-$73K cost reduction via DSPy optimization, and the claim that 'Opus scores ~20% higher in Cursor than Claude Code' as evidence that harness quality now matters more than model quality.
