← Back to context Comment by Jyaif 7 months ago Same reason I choose 500k, it's an approximation. 2 comments Jyaif Reply croemer 7 months ago Given that Stack overflow has 500 employees, I'd say Safari requires 500 people rather than 100. Jyaif 7 months ago FWIW 119 unique @apple addresses appear in Webkit.git in the last year.( `git log --since="1 year ago" --pretty="%cn <%ce>" | grep "apple" | sort -u | wc -l` )Of course there's more to Safari than just Webkit, and there's more than just committers. So yes, the number may be close to 500 in total.Assuming a generous 500k cost per employee, we reach 250 million USD, which is less than 2% of what they get for Safari.Safari is essentially pure profit.
