Alvin Sng(@alvinsng):This is why @FactoryAI is hiring EPD in SF only. We’re also hiring fewer engineers than before, even as growth continues, so there’s less need to hire in more markets. A top engineer can amplify their output by orders of magnitude with agents, whereas others would just multiply bad decisions and bad code faster. Many of our largest projects are already bottlenecked on a single engineer because the shipping pace is so fast. Adding more people often wouldn’t meaningfully speed up timelines.
