> That's 50 people serving the needs of 1,000,000. [...] that means that every single member of the Flutter team is responsible for the needs of 20,000 Flutter developers! That ratio is clearly unworkable for any semblance of customer support.
Ever heard of e.g. curl? Because a billion users use your software does not mean that you have to talk to a billion users.
- IshKebab 2y agoCurl is easily 1000x simpler than Flutter and has existed for many times longer. Not really comparable.
- palata 2y agoExactly: the number of users is just not a good way to measure this.
- kreetx 2y agoIMO, the entire number counting argument is beside the point. Workable dev count/user count ratio varies depending on circumstances. A better way would have been that the "in-house Flutter team is slow to accept outside contributions so I'm forking it". EDIT: minor wording
- eviks 2y agoDoes curl have any semblance of customer support?
