A budget of $100M, with 50% devoted to salary and a median salary of $250K, would be 200 developers. I seriously doubt any of the companies you name are devoting even a quarter of that to JS JIT development. Yes, they each make significant investments, but let's not weaken the argument by indulging a penchant for hyperbole.
- chrisseaton 7y agoAbout 200 seems about right to me across all these companies. Have you worked on one of these teams? > let's not weaken the argument by indulging a penchant for hyperbole Please don’t be so dismissive and snide - there’s no need for that.
- notacoward 7y ago> About 200 seems about right to me across all these companies. Then your initial estimate was way off, because you were suggesting multiple hundreds of millions and the average salary probably isn't that high. > there’s no need for that Honest argument wouldn't require such forceful correction.
- chrisseaton 7y agoI didn't say a hundred million per company. > Honest argument wouldn't require such forceful correction. Please try to tone it down.
