Typical bloated Tech company with probably lots of managers who comes off the back of a master degree and happy to create lots of meaningless meeting

Maybe. But, at my compare all new starters must be in the office 3 days a week.

> The report also said that Human Resources employees at Uber, who had previously been cleared to work from home, are being asked to return to the office to comply with a three-day-a-week rule that took effect last June.

I feel this is direction much tech companies will take.

Thats a solid package tbh
> Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. T

Is Brian here? Can he speak more to this? What exactly are non technicals shipping to production code?

I've got no position in Coinbase but is that a wise thing to say as a public company? I'd be alarmed if I were a share holder

This stuck out to me > Non-technical teams are now shipping production code

Would love to know what sort of feature non technical team is contributing to

> Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams.

I love this! Ive never understood managers that can't contribute

Interesting. Some companies have rolled it out to every department with a small budget.

I wonder how this will end as AI becomes more expensive to use. If you can't quantify ROI then I guess you're cooked.

Might be helpful to go into the office once a week or so?
Yes, I don't know what they do and I'm totally not ashamed
Just checked. They have 162,000 employees. So thats like 18% cut?

I don't even know what that company does. I'm sure it's valuable for a reason, just never understood what they do.

Edit: Google says they sell Database software. OK.

Musk 100% right about this guy
