      A lot of these “auto-pilot” apps have thousands of people employed, I don’t get it. Like, what is there to work on once you have things working pretty well? If anything they just start ruining the product over time…

        Well, they have to make new, broken terrible features and then come fix them when people complain by basically putting it back to how it was.

          Haha still, does that really require 9,000 people to do? Surely you can half-ass some new features with like a few hundred people?

      My guess is for every 1 developer there’s 10 or more non technical administrative jobs. Most tech companies are grossly fat worth useless non productive employees that do very menial bureaucratic work. Think Office Space, but less neck ties.
