In an interview with a tooling engineer at Facebook, the engineer said that something like 30% of engineers at Facebook are dedicated to tooling. Can’t remember exactly what that was encompassing (does that include backend infrastructure?), but I was astounded at the number. Can someone clarify? Is this ratio accurate, and is it just for developer tools?
I think that sounds reasonable, especially if that includes the CI pipeline/artifact deployment systems and related automation.
It's a good thing, otherwise 100 percent of the company would be busy making their own tools for the same purpose....
