Yes software development is a lot more expensive than people think, but 40 million is an order of magnitude more than the combined funding of all but one (and my current, which I only started this week) of my employers over the past ten years. If spent wisely, 40 million can develop a sizeable amount of software. But you’re right, plenty more companies burn through that without much to show for so in comparison WMF aren’t doing too bad, I guess. It still sounds somewhat excessive to me though.
