    Since they’re using (now expensive) genAI and productivity isn’t improving, because it almost never does, rhen they need to do something to appease stakeholders and offset the cost of using genAI, ofc.

    That and keeping employee’s perception of power and self worth down, so they keep working their asses off in the hopes of not being the next in line.

          ok, if they are profiting from genAI (and cloudflair has the means to run their own with out the big 3 or 4) then turbo charge that advantage by keeping the 1000 devs that are running all these agents. if they are not, keep the 100 devs and move them to developing the AI so that it works…
