A Manifesto
How We Work Now
A manifesto for the age of autonomous agents.
01
Labor is Free
The cost of building just collapsed to near-zero. AI agents work around the clock for pennies. The old bottleneck was human labor hours — hiring, managing, retaining. That bottleneck is gone. What used to take a team of ten and three months now takes one person and a weekend.
02
One Person, One Factory
A single person with the right agents can outpace a 50-person company. Not a metaphor. An actual production line — agents building, shipping, and maintaining real products around the clock. You don't need a team. You need a fleet.
03
Inner World, Outer World
The inner world is code, prompts, systems, and agent orchestration. The outer world is customers, revenue, and real impact on real people. You need both. Most builders only see the inner world. Most business people only see the outer. The ones who bridge both win.
04
Ships While You Sleep
Deploy agents before bed. Wake up to pull requests, shipped features, and resolved tickets. The agents don't take breaks. They don't get tired. They don't lose context. Your output is no longer limited to your waking hours.
05
No Meetings
Agents don't need standups. They don't need Slack threads. They don't need alignment workshops or quarterly planning offsites. They read their instructions and they ship. Communication overhead drops to zero.
06
Zero Employees
No salaries. No benefits packages. No HR. No equity negotiations. No two-week notice periods. Just compute costs and results. The organizational chart is a YAML file. The performance review is a log.
07
Taste is the Bottleneck
When labor is free, the only scarce resource is knowing what to build. Vision. Taste. The ability to see what matters and ignore what doesn't. Execution is abundant now. Direction is everything.
08
The Army Grows
Every agent you deploy makes the next one easier. The fleet gets smarter. The systems get tighter. Compounding intelligence — each agent learns from what the others built. You don't scale linearly. You compound.
09
This is Day One
We're at the very beginning. The tools are primitive. The models are getting better every month. The companies that figure this out first win everything. We're not waiting for permission. We're building the playbook — in public — right now.
Watch it happen.
