They'd have to be paying 2000 developers $150,000 per year to hit $300 million. Are there really that many developers working on this?

- quonn 12y agoAccording to the NYT they have more than 1000 employees. Usually costs are approximately 2*salary, so assuming $100,000 per developer, we get $200 million, which is what they claim as software development costs. So at least the order of magnitude seems right. I guess the salary and costs are actually less, but there are even more employees.
