An honest before-and-after of a founder who went from three devs to one plus Greta. Covers which work the AI absorbed, which problems stayed human, and the trade-off most posts about this skip.

What's inside
  • Why removing the boilerplate — not the people — sped things up
  • The repetitive 70% Greta absorbs: CRUD dashboards, portals, admin tools
  • The hard 30% that stays human: architecture, judgment, correctness
  • The prompt-to-working-app workflow that replaced tickets and sprints
  • The honest trade-off most posts skip: two roles genuinely went away

Three Devs. Then One.

A founder cut his dev team to a third and shipped faster, not slower. The reason wasn't magic — it was how much of the work was the same boilerplate on repeat: CRUD dashboards, client portals, admin panels. Different logos, identical bones.


The Split That Made It Work

Greta absorbed the repetitive 70% — the dashboards, portals, and internal tools that used to eat the team's week, shipped from a plain-English prompt with auth, database, and payments wired in. The humans kept the hard 30%: novel architecture, tricky product judgment, and anything that must be exactly right.


The Honest Part

This isn't a "fire your team" pitch, and the guide doesn't skip the uncomfortable half: one dev moved to the hard problems and shipped more, but two roles genuinely went away. Both sides of the trade-off are in here.
