Jeff Bezos introduced the two-pizza rule in 2002: if a team needs more than two pizzas to eat, it’s too big. It became gospel for how to organize product teams. Dan Shipper thinks the number just got a lot smaller:

We have four software products, each run by a single person. Ninety-nine percent of our code is written by AI agents. Overall, we have six business units with just 20 full-time employees.

Two pizzas down to two slices. Two slices per person. One person per product. And these aren’t demos or side projects. Shipper’s numbers on one of them:

Monologue, our smart dictation app run by Naveen Naidu, is used about 30,000 times a day to transcribe 1.5 million words. The codebase totals 143,000 lines of code and Naveen’s written almost every single line of it himself with the help of Codex and Opus.

A year ago that would have been a team of four or five engineers plus a PM plus a designer. Shipper himself built a separate product—a Markdown editor—and describes the compression:

An editor like this would have previously taken 3-4 engineers six months to build. Instead, I made it in my spare time.

“In my spare time” is doing a lot of work in that sentence. This is what the small teams, big leverage argument looks like when you stop theorizing and start counting.
