The author conveniently (or perhaps wasn't even aware) left out this quote from Uber's CFO

"What we have done is we have tempered the pace of hiring, and we -- and this is broadly across the company, but specifically from an engineering standpoint -- the hiring ramp we have for the remainder of the year is significantly lower than what we thought it would be when we came into this year."
