@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk > 3. We’re re-organizing R&D to create roughly 60 smaller, more empowered teams with end-to-end ownership, nearly doubling the number of independent teams. HFS, they had approximately 30 "larger" R&D teams? I mean, I don't _use_ GitLab; it's only ever been an annoyance for me pushing back on accommodating its use by contractors who didn't understand how to use git in the first place, but I regularly find myself agog at the sheer sizes and breadths of some of these teams. It's almost like we've had middle and upper management treating engineering as a quantity problem rather than a quality problem for decades because that's how everyone is incentivized when the C-suite has contracted a summarization fetish, and they've been looking for an off-ramp that AI and some creative word salad provides. Also, that's as far as I could bear to read. I find ingesting someone else's LLM output as savory as rifling through a meth den clothes hamper.
