The big advantage of software though is that you don't have to maintain a fixed ratio of developer:user like that, though. Sure, your employee count should increase as user count does, but far less than linearly.
- parbo 13y agoHe suggests that it might scale logarithmically, not linearly.
- hythloday 13y agoI'm not sure this is in practice true. Twitter have to start writing or tuning their own scale-specific software, need more analytics, application security, developer productivity, partner and sales engineering etc. proportionally than they would do at 1% of their size. Certainly they could run 100 Plurks with many fewer than 1000 engineers but I'm not sure that's the best way to characterize Twitter.
