Corporate hierarchy is a 2,000-year-old information routing protocol. AI just made it optional. Two independent groups figured this out separately, one from economic theory, one from running a company at scale. open.substack.com/pub/tjklein/... #FutureOfWork #AI @sequoiacapital.bsky.social

For 40 years, enterprise software was governed by a single economic law: integration beats specialisation. That law just broke. A thread on why, and what replaces it.
