> It's the automation that's making it possible to be successful, not the engineers doing the automation.

That's like saying anyone who thinks hammers are a good idea is really saying a hammer makes a builder successful, not the builder. It's just a tool, and he's saying tools mean one person can do more. You don't need to straw man a philosophy on to it to then have something to argue against.

> employees do the automation, not the founders

Founders normally are employees. For the phase or type of company pg is talking about, they may be the only employees.
