saos··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
> Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. T

Is Brian here? Can he speak more to this? What exactly are non technicals shipping to production code?

I've got no position in Coinbase but is that a wise thing to say as a public company? I'd be alarmed if I were a share holder

Would love to know what sort of feature non technical team is contributing to

> Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams.

I love this! Ive never understood managers that can't contribute

saos··on Uber Torches 2026 AI Budget on Claude Code in Four Months
Interesting. Some companies have rolled it out to every department with a small budget.

I wonder how this will end as AI becomes more expensive to use. If you can't quantify ROI then I guess you're cooked.

Just checked. They have 162,000 employees. So thats like 18% cut?

I don't even know what that company does. I'm sure it's valuable for a reason, just never understood what they do.

Edit: Google says they sell Database software. OK.

saos··on Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI
Salesforce is B2B and a complex software. I wouldn’t expected them to layoff that much support. Surprising. They should be empowering their support staff with AI tools to improve customer experiences.

Though I’m a bit surprised they have that much support staff.
