Ahh - the circle of life...
Its now cheaper to hire humans then to buy more nvidia cards to spin up AI workers! :-P
>The new hires will largely work across product development, engineering, research and sales.
I wish the article would've been able to break down the amount of people that they wanted to hire in each area. I would think that if they're trying to break Anthropics momentum in business, they'd be hiring a lot of salespeople.

Wasn't their target to replace humans with AI? Why is that not applicable to their business?
Employees for me, but not for thee!
mythical man month
If your work is parallizable, you can get more done. Eg more enterprise features you weren't currently going to do, more sales calls, more marketing campaigns, etc. mythical man month only applies to highly coupled work with large ramp time. Engineers often don't spend enough time planning to keep work decoupled (and with less people it's unnecessary overhead to do so).
Not necessarily true even for seemingly parallelizable work.
I can often do 3 unrelated tickets faster than I can hand 2 off to 2 devs. The PM will wish we could parallelize, but sadly conceptual locality is a thing.
