> Today, as I type these words, I work at Snowflake. Snowflake has around ~2,000 engineers. When I was in Office, Office alone was around ~4,000 engineers.
I'm sorry, what?! 4,000 engineers doing what, exactly?
Excel turns 40 this year and has changed very little in those four decades. I can't imagine you need 4,000 engineers just to keep it backwards compatible.
In the meantime we've seen entire companies built with a ragtag team of hungry devs.
