Hmm...it's been a while, but when I was at Apple one of the reasons given internally for why products were so much better than the competition (and they were) was that Apple typically had 1/10th the number of people working on a particular product or feature.
I wonder if that's still the case.
- pembrook 6mo agoIt was less true when I was there more recently. But Apple is still amazingly efficient compared to others like Meta/Microsoft/etc if you just look at raw headcount vs. product/service/distribution surface area.
- achierius 6mo agoMaybe not 1/10, but definitely on-the-order-of 1/4th or 1/6th as many.
