#satya-nadella + #management

So for example, I'll give you at LinkedIn we used to have product managers, we had designers, we had front-end engineers and then we had back-end engineers and so on. So what we did is we sort of took those first four roles and combined them. In fact, increased scope and said, let's they're all full stack builders. So I like that because that's a structural change that allows for us to increase the change both the work and the workflow between these functions.

at the same time as you can imagine if to build an AI product today there's a complete new workflow right it starts with eval right so basically there's this eval to science to infrastructure and so eval are done by these full stack builders and what have you and product managers in the new form. The infrastructure is built by the systems engineers at the back end because they support the science that supports the product.

So in some sense there's a new loop uh and you have to structurally change and so a lot of what is happening inside a tech is that change uh which is I think going to be pretty massive uh and at the same time a company like ours I have to do everything it's not like I can just so go live in the future I have to make sure we're doing a fantastic job of doing hot patching on Windows is done with quality uh while at the same time building the evals that are improving co-pilot quality right and so both of those have to be first class. – Satya Nadella
