Hacker News: shamoohttps://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=shamooHacker News RSShttps://hnrss.org/hnrss v2.1.1Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:09:07 +0000<![CDATA[New comment by shamoo in "Meta tells staff it will cut 10% of jobs"]]>In 2012 meta had 4600 employees.

In 2018, 35,500.

From 2019 to 2022, 44k to 86k.

2026, as of now, 70k, 26k higher than 2019.

Using relative comparison is not appropriate for a software company, which is incredibly scalable by nature. Yoy is not the appropriate metric here. These are not workers on the line in a widget factory.

I do not hear about anymore. I guess the hype has died out. Is it still popular? Is it still gaining users? What went wrong? Have more viable competitors risen?
