I think the turning point will be when AI assisted individuals or tiny companies are able to deliver comparable products/value as the goliaths.

Why hasn't this happened already?

I'm willing to believe the hype on LLMs except that I don't see any tiny 1-senior-dev-plus-agents companies disrupting the market. Maybe it just hasn't happened "yet"... But I've been kind of wondering the same thing for most of 2025.

		I think it has to get good enough to a point where humans are not the bottleneck for code review and course correction. I guess the "velocity" multiplier is closer to 10x rather than the 1000x needed for true disruption capability.

That would be the ideal scenario; when you can build a small business more easily.
