Shane Collins

ABSTRACT

In one of the most controversial business experiments of 2025, a fully remote tech startup eliminated its entire middle management layer, replacing it with a hierarchy of Agentic AI orchestrators built on LangGraph. Collins documents how 'Manager Agents' now autonomously assign tickets, track velocity, balance server loads, and even conduct performance sentiment analysis on human engineers. The post explores the massive efficiency gains, the unexpected boost in developer morale, and the chilling realization that algorithmic management is vastly superior to human bureaucracy.
