First this: > 8 or 9 digit revenue Ok, HN loves the "digits" stuff. To be clear, "9 digits" can mean: 100,000,000 all the way up to one billion minus one

First this: > 8 or 9 digit revenue Ok, HN loves the "digits" stuff. To be clear, "9 digits" can mean: 100,000,000 all the way up to one billion minus one. BIG difference. Let's assume 100,000,000 for now. Also: No currency mentioned. Indonesian rupiah? Euro? Japanese yen? It makes a big difference. > I’m talking about teams in the hundreds of developers What project in the 2020s needs "hundreds of developers" (again: that implies 200+) and only generates maximum of 100M revenue? This sounds like an awful business of: it cost 200M to build, but only makes 100M revenue.
