Interview: Sourcegraph Founder/CEO Slack Quinn
summary
Sourcegraph recounts that several projects started in 2021 were reasonable but no longer align with top company priorities and get cut; teams built customer-facing work that required a deliberate shock to the system to reallocate without blame. The organization notes people had normalized solving tradeoffs by adding headcount, so leadership enforces a hard reprioritization and admits communication could be clearer about why. The company also describes a rapid shift to AI that outsiders call abrupt.
