Our team makeup is almost entirely "devs" (I call them Engineers — people who design, build, and ship software). A lot closer to 120 than 80. However your estimates a pretty far off in terms of people who work on dotcom — that number is much closer to 15. One of the more interesting sociological problems of software to me is this idea that more people equals faster movement. The only studies in this field prove the opposite, yet common opinion is simply that: more people equals more output. We've actually spent a great deal of effort not growing our team lately, much of which has directly contributed to an increase in pace. I would credit our pace far more to the organizational structures we've created within our company (ex: http://tomayko.com/writings/adopt-an-open-source-process-constraints http://tomayko.com/writings/adopt-an-open-source-process-con...) than the size of our team.
