I am saying that cutting development teams by 40% on the wonky maths that generative AI makes developers 40% more "developery" won't be best-practice. I don't think its a leap before you look job and I don't think the toolsets and practices are mature enough to bank that 40%, at least, not yet. Therefore I think the slashing of the engineering team in India is not related to AI but rather budget or political or smth else. I guess at the executive level its about whether you think you can increase sales with more R&D or whether you have entirely saturated your market or organisational capacity. Still, I would argue that mindlessly cost cutting is more the domain of the post-IPO, than that of the entrepreneur.
