One question I have is, what is Uber doing with all their engineers? Most of us are engineers as well. So we all understand maintenance, monitoring, feature development, tech debt etc. Technology products rarely can just be 'let alone' and left operating successfully.
But they have over 2,000 engineers. That's a massive amount. Are there new features in development? New services? New capabilities?
From a consumer perspective I haven't see anything new in a while. Are they all focused on growth in new cities, towns, and countries supporting local peculiarities? Is Uber going through a rewrite to align on a technology stack to support future features? What are those features?
My old job was building out a (new) streaming service, so it was all about feature development, launching in new countries, supporting local payment methods etc.
Now I work on building APIs for a different company with which other developers can integrate.
Both are focused on building and maintaining new and existing features as well as growth. Just what the heck is Uber doing with its 2,000 engineers?
