It's really amazing to me that microsoft, with a headcount of over 200000 people has such small teams (and amazing individuals like Fowler) for their most central technologies. Even Entity Framework has, I think, just a handful of people working on it. Meanwhile, there are thousands upon thousands of people with title "product manager". I suppose the headcounts get vast again for the Azure teams? On the other hand maybe the success Microsoft has had lately is expressly BECAUSE there are not too many cooks in the kitchen?
