>down from nearly 4,000 a week

Do they really pay that many people to work on development? That's 100 fulltime jobs.



Automattic has over 1,700 employees. [0] They had more than 1,900 before the buyouts and departures. [1] With that many people, I’m sort of surprised that they only had around 100 full time staff working on WordPress core.

Full time employees? 1700 employees from 90 countries sounds to me like they are counting anyone that's ever contributed anything as an employee.


It does seem like throwing investor money at 4000hrs/week open source development was a ZIRP
