Grindr CEO says AI is doing the work of 200 additional engineers
Grindr's chief executive said on 7 August that AI is doing work that would otherwise have required hiring 200 more engineers. The claim concerns hiring avoided rather than jobs cut.
Who is affected and how
- manager
- Headcount 'not hired' may be a way to measure AI's contribution, but the underlying assumption should be checked.
- early-career professional
- Rather than growing engineering demand, AI substitution may show up in hiring plans.
