Great point on an area graph being misleading - changed.
What data would you propose using for a private company like this? There is very little public data and this is the only KPI that is consistently reported. Something is at least a little better than nothing to understand how a business has grown over time.
- minimaxir 12y agoThis was one of the primary reasons I stopped doing analysis on startup metric data. Most of it is deliberately incomplete and it would be dishonest to do analysis on incomplete data. In this case, "grown" is a loaded question from your metric data, since "number of developers" does not distinguish between the number of developers who have joined and who have left; it's only the total, but the former metric is what's important.
