Pretty sure software developer salaries are a tiny fraction of their cash burn. Most of it is promos and driver acquisition costs. Basically subsidising all rides. They could fire all devs and still lose billions per quarter.

What part of the ride needs subsidy? I don't understand that part. It seems like that whole transaction happens between the driver and the passenger. Passenger pays driver, driver makes commission, Uber takes their cut. Seems like virtually no cost should be associated with that other than keeping the servers running, y'know?
