Yeah, it's just a website....hosting 3B active users...

That's like a 3 person job, at most, right?

    Also shitty here: saying Meta instead of Facebook to sound up to date and informed - but clearly talking about the Facebook anyway, not the company and all its services.

    Wondering how much actual devs are there. Linkedin shows 33k so most of their workers are employes who deal with customer support and content moderation.

    @horus Let's be honest, 83000 employees is overkill for literally anything

    Incredible, this guy has almost exclusively surface-level leftist opinions that disregard the nuanced reality of almost all of the topics they're commenting on.

    The only thing sadder than their worldview is that this is pretty much enough to stay in the forefront of Hungarian political discourse.

    So they have 83.5 employees? Lol

    I wonder how they make those numbers.

    Do they really have that amount ? Or is rounded down ?

    Is it 83523 ? Meaning 23 people aren't very important and just ignored.

    Or do they only hire 100 people at the same time to keep the number even ?

    @Grumm They hire in bunches of 103 people. But three of each batch are just hot spares who don't work until another worker drops out of the cluster. Then the hot spare becomes a real worker, gets programmed with the dropped worker's role and experience and replaces them.

    The numbers don't lie.

    this might be a satire post, but even if 10% of this masive number are devs, i wonder how cut throat and meaningless the work of each dev there would be.

    these guys are trying to sharpen their ds algo 10 hours a day, just to not get pipped out as a part of their annual churn improvement cycle .

    these guys are trying to fix a button color change in 60 days, while going through 100s of procedures, processes & politics just to get the task status as "completed" .

    8300 people, trying to feel important as they contribute a drop worth of an impact into a 3 billion userbase behemoth of a website.

    a usual dev team( even including the somewhat "non tech people" like designers and PMs) in a startup will contain at most 80 people, that's 0.001% fb's dev team

    in my company there are 3 people that do the exact same work as me and at most 10 people that do the 'similar' work as me (i.e 3 each of ios ,FE and BE Dev , since am android dev), & i still fear if i would get promoted
