How does a payment service wind up with over a 1000 engineers?
I understand that "engineers" may not mean "developers", it could DevOps, site reliability and all the bits and pieces that make up a large service provider, but over a 1000?
Can someone please enlighten me?
- itsjustjordan 2y agoSurely in 2024 we can't be classifying Stripe as just "a payment service"
