Why AI Makes You 100x Faster but Not Your Company - Mitchell Troyanovsky, Basis
Mitchell Troyanovsky, co-founder of Basis, explains why individual engineers see huge AI productivity gains while most companies do not.

He also covers why outcome evals fail to generalize to production, and two diagnostic tools: forking and sub-agent simulations.
