Do you really think so? Do you think the rate at which uber is able to ship new features is the reason why they're not profitable? If yes, then shouldn't Lyft or Flywheel or some new company that can ship much faster be better off than Uber?
- bbeekley 6y ago> then shouldn't Lyft or Flywheel or some new company that can ship much faster be better off than Uber? Isn't that the general startup success story: small scrappy team adapts faster to changes and the market, giving them some advantage over slow-moving megacorp?
- CydeWeys 6y agoI don't see this as a new feature, I see it as cost control. Fixing technical debt brings your long-term carrying costs lower. They're increasing the efficiency of their developers so they can do more with fewer of them, which helps reduce total compensation costs.
- superworrier 6y agoFrom what I've heard of Lyft, they definitely do not ship faster. One (probable) reason is that their infrastructure and tooling is a mess.
