When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?

    Wow that really puts things into perspective, like wtf are they actually doing with that many employees?

    Reddit to me IS Sync. It’s the only way I could use the site. Without Sync reddit is dead to me.

    70 android developers on an objectively worse app. Wtf? I’m so confused

    Anyways thanks for Sync, masterclass in app design

      I’ve seen similar things. At my last company I helped start a team of 5 people to implement an identity solution, We got it done in about 3 months. Due to shitty management they pushed out the competent devs and back filled with cheaper replacements, either fresh from university or contractors. Fast forward a few years and the over team is now a group of teams with about +/- 40 people and it takes 4 months just to get a plan together which is then obsolete when they want to start due to more shitty management.

      Thank god I am no longer there.
