> 2x Quarter over quarter productivity gains (estimated 8.1 million hours annualized)
This is a great encapsulation of why productivity gains are an imperfect measure. 2X is a massive improvement. Yet IMO you can barely tell a difference as a user of the various SFDC offerings (Salesforce, Slack, Tableau, etc). So where is all that work going? A generous interpretation is that it is in the form of small, somewhat invisible improvements that add up over time, but that seems unlikely give then nature of what people prioritize at work...
