“So trunk is a dev tools company. We're basically creating a vertical to the left of GitHub. Our goal is to help engineers land code faster. Kind of like the core idea is that being an engineer is not particularly fun. Once you hit, like, any amount of scale in your organization, landing code gets really hard.”
“We had 600 engineers at Uber ATG. We had 30 engineers supporting them as dev tools, dev experience space. And landing code was really hard. I ran an organization of the Autonomy Systems theme. Part of our goal was to basically assess why are we not landing code faster? Why are we not making greater, faster progress? And the answer on survey after survey was landing code is hard.”
“Engineers are insanely expensive. Right? They're only getting more expensive. And if you can return even, like, two hours of productivity per engineer per month, you've, you know, paid your paid your way easily.”
