They're not saying it would take 15 to build, they're saying that maintaining it does not take nearly as many staff as they currently have. Which is correct: if Uber is simply a rideshare company, then with the technology established it should be winding down it's dev teams.
If it's instead a "every market" company then it should be doing that with its considerable on-payroll staff.
- pm90 4y agoNo, maintaining a complex app with thousands of microservices doing a bajillion things still takes a lot (a LOT) more than 15 people.
- XorNot 4y agoI mean I'm reading that as hyperbole - the point is that the head count to keep it running should be a lot lower then the head count to build it, keep building it, etc.
