> Have you actually worked in the companies at Meta caliber
you're taking it personally.
I work for a > 30k employees company, not based in the US.
All I'm saying is companies optimize for what's better for them, so at some point you'll have on payroll thousands of people you don't need for your core business because they solve a lot of non-core functions. such as dealing with authorities or devise a strategy to reduce the pool of talents competition can pick from. HR, accounting and legal departments will also increase in size a lot consequentially. so their massive size doesn't says much about the complexity of the tech problem they are solving.
the fact that Discord runs on Elixir at that scale is remarkable, regardless of how many people work at Discord.
