It sounds like that would be the case but imagine every two pizza team has one or two new junior person and occasionally a senior person: you can actually absorb that at the team level in a reasonably pragmatic way. Not to say it's not inefficient or unnecessary; I just mean each team is creating its own work essentially in their narrow niche and feels it can absorb more engineering bandwidth into that niche... whether this is efficient in a macro sense is a separate question
- rightbyte 4y agoSure, but I guess many teams are "full" and there has to be newbie teams. Also FB has been hireing way more than I thought for a long time: mhio posted further down: 2017 20,658 43% yoy 2018 30,275 47% 2019 39,651 31% 2020 52,534 32% 2021 63,404 21% 2022 83,553 32% Between 2016 and 2018 a 4 person team would go 4->6->9. Assuming even distribution of new hires. Any team bigger than 4 would probably need a split. I just don't see how any organization can grow this quick without cracking big time.
