Right I think orgs are unclear how to wield this yet though

In my 20 year career I’ve rarely been on a team with more than 3-5 people on a team or within region on a team.

So at that scale it’s not really reducing a team member on a given team still. But you get more productive which is notoriously hard to measure in SWE, so yeah. It’s possible that translates to iterating faster or closing tickets further down the backlog which is useful but not per-se staff reducing.

Maybe in mag7 where you have massive engineering orgs the 10% can impact a given team more..
