im trying to find startups ( or established companies ) serving the maximum amount of users with the lowest amount of engineers. Places where you could have an incredibly outsized impact. I remember there was a point in time where for every engineer at Facebook there where 2? million users.
Ive always thought tinder is up there, but yeah just playstore has over 2 billion install so probably google or fb
Quora: about 150 engineers for a userbase of 300 million
Before FB acquired Insta, it had around 1B users with 5-6 engineers.
It sounds really hard to believe
I don't remember exact numbers, but you can look it up. They had like 12 employees when they got acquired and only half of them were engineers.
Stackoverflow
Craigslist ?
Craigslist. <50 employees total (not just engineers) with several billion users, none of the corporate dark pattern junk that most companies force onto their users, and apparently reasonable pay/benefits/office environment, too. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/sof/d/javascript-developer-at/6576102796.html
Had a friend that worked there for many years, he said it was very hard to do anything interesting at all.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me โa lookโ because I tipped her 10% for โBAD service!โ
Not startups but probably Google or FB or Microsoft
Still? Maybe I should restrict this to a valuation range or financing raised then...
