Why would you only count engineers?
- Jyaif 1y agoSame reason I choose 500k, it's an approximation.
- croemer 1y agoGiven that Stack overflow has 500 employees, I'd say Safari requires 500 people rather than 100.
- Jyaif 1y agoFWIW 119 unique @apple addresses appear in Webkit.git in the last year. ( `git log --since="1 year ago" --pretty="%cn <%ce>" | grep "apple" | sort -u | wc -l` ) Of course there's more to Safari than just Webkit, and there's more than just committers. So yes, the number may be close to 500 in total. Assuming a generous 500k cost per employee, we reach 250 million USD, which is less than 2% of what they get for Safari. Safari is essentially pure profit.
