Tenex pays AI engineers for delivered output rather than hours, aiming to align incentives as AI speeds up work. They keep story points for compensation but also consider non-ticket tasks like architecture design and customer context gathering. The model has scaled to a 75-person team serving Fortune 2000 and mid-market clients, highlighting how AI can reshape software development economics.
