> Uber's thousands of engineers
Why does Uber need a thousand engineers?
The first time I used Uber was 4 years ago. It felt like a complete product. I understand the constant need for expansion around the world requires engineering to scale up servers in multiple regions, but does that really take a thousand engineers? Do they really need thousands of people to handle the feature creep?
I'm just finding it hard to believe that there's enough work to do on a ride hailing app to keep thousands of engineers busy.
