> IMO the vast majority of software development happens in much smaller organizations than that I guess it's okay to have an opinion about that, but this seems like something that should probably be a fact. Unfortunately, not sure I can find reliable stats on sizes of engineering organizations. The thing is, while there are obviously lots of small companies, there are also some really big software development organizations out there. A company like Netflix has 2,500 engineers. Microsoft employs over 100,000 engineers. Walmart employs over 15,000 software developers. You need a lot of little 10-50 engineer dev shops to add up to the combined size of the engineering orgs of the Fortune 500. According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/507530/united-states-distribution-it-industry-employment-by-company-size/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/507530/united-states-dis..., at least, 29.4+25.8 = 55.2% of the US "IT Industry" workforce are employed in companies with >100 employees. That's a Long way from telling us about sizes of engineering orgs though. But still... I'd be careful assuming that the vast majority of developers are in organizations of less than 100 people.
