The Anatomy of an AI-Native Org

# Summary As AI automates translation tasks—converting requirements into code, tickets into PRs, and business language into technical specifications—the middle layer of traditional org charts is shrinking. The article argues that most mid-level roles (engineers, managers, project coordinators) primarily performed translation work, which AI has made vastly cheaper and faster, leaving only the "why" (strategic decisions) and "what" (product decisions) layers as truly essential. This structural change means organizations must fundamentally rethink the purpose of middle management and engineering roles beyond translation coordination.
