Solid analogy. What really strikes me about the Renaissance paralel is something less talked about: how it didn't just expand what individuals could do, but fundamentally restructured whose opinion mattered. Same thing is kinda happening now, where junior devs with strong AI leverage can challenge architectural decisions that would've been off-limits before. The real shift isn't just productivity but the flattening of technical hierarchies themselves.

Thank you! I agree 100%.
