Competition for engineering talent is FIERCE and it isn't getting better any time soon.
Simply put, there is a fundamental imbalance in Silicon Valley's supply and demand for talented software engineers. This makes it extremely difficult to maintain your hiring bar, while keeping up with customer and product demands in the race to capture a first to market advantage.
Now pause and imagine a world in which engineering capacity is no longer a chokepoint for growth and no longer limits:
• new feature development • 3rd party integrations, or • that migration to microservices that you've been holding off on for ages.
