Snap is laying off about 100 engineers
I'm honestly curious if the massive headcount of some of these companies is even necessary. I was taking a look at Bumble[0] the other day. They are the #2 dating app in the US, turning down acquisition offers, and are profitable with >$100mm in revenue, yet I have been unable to find a single engineering job listing or find anyone on LinkedIn that is on their technical staff. Plenty of Fish[1] was built and scaled to hundreds of millions of users by a single person. When all you're doing technically is recreating  functionality that has existed for decades now (messaging), and using 100% cloud infrastructure, why build out a huge engineering org?[0] https://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2017/08/23/women-f...[1] http://www.businessinsider.com/how-markus-frind-bootstrapped...
