Based on my experience, you’d be surprised how hard it is sometimes. I have a team of 10 engineers that failed to ship a basic CRUD UI after several months (and it wasn’t even close to done). Eventually it got taken over by one individual eng who finished it in two weeks.

That sounds like it was because there were 10 engineers assigned to a way too small task, not becomes teams are ineffective.

I've seen this happen several times before, and it's never been because people weren't typing fast enough: it's always bad or nonexistent management, unclear accountabilities, or lack of technical direction or oversight (one failed CRUD project was written purely functionally by an engineer in Scala + Scalaz, absolute insanity). None of these are solvable by LLMs.
