Product Lovable added $100M ARR in a single month with 146 employees ($2.74M per head) while Amazon convened senior engineers after AI-generated code caused a 6-hour retail outage and 13-hour AWS disruption — and then mandated human sign-off on all junior/mid AI-assisted code changes.
AI coding tools are simultaneously generating $2.74M ARR per employee and 6-hour production outages at Amazon — the teams that win will segment use cases by blast radius, not uniformly adopt or resist…
