  It's a medium-sized company problem. If you've got 2 developers, they're both doing everything and on call 24/7 and all have read/write access to everything on demand. If you've got 200 developers, you're going to start wanting a team of shift workers keeping an eye on the systems, and maybe you won't want every developer to have read/write access to production data. If you've got 20,000 developers your working practices and infrastructure are almost completely cemented in place, and anyone who doesn't like them has already left because it's easier to change jobs than to get 20k people to change their behaviour.
