There is no joke, that's correct. You won't need more than 2 engineers at the beginning for 99% of the startups. Almost nobody is making anything technologically significant - and if they do they raise millions and act like a disorganised mid company. In order to do your typical backend + frontend work you won't need much more, unless your developers can't code.
