> 60-100 staff? Sorry but that's very naïve. Think about how many core services this takes:
I agree, but the engineering department could be handled with less than 50 people. Most of the work they do is linked to operation stuff and not engineering
the parent explained how it was impossible to get to that low of a number:
-finance -payment -HR -management -verification of hosts / properties -scam detection and moderation -legal -dispute arbitration -programming -infrastructure -projects -building management for properties like HQ they own -customer service -etc.
polote said "engineering". You responded by listing a bunch of non-engineering jobs that need done. OK, but you're arguing with something that is not what polote said.
