Not being buried under a backlog of work is one aspect, and the other is that the sheer _urgency_ of these efforts makes it look like companies like Uber could be displaced in a year or two by someone who gets lucky with AI use.
Which absolutely isn’t the case. Even if someone would manage to overtake a market leader on tech merit alone, within 1-2 years, thanks to AI, markets don’t swing on such short notices. The fake urgency is absolutely psychotic.
Ha the real stars of Uber aren't the programmers. It is the lawyers.
