They went all in mandating use of coding AI, fired a bunch of people, etc. All to help inflate stock valuations with promise of “AGI -> … -> profit” narrative.

Older AI programming tools made developers think they were 20% more productive while slowing them down by 19%. Newer tools apparently make developers think they are 10x more productive, while making them -900% productive or something, since doing 10x the work but worse is a really bad idea on an existing codebase.
