They’re not a consistent size over the life of a project. They also contract out a lot of stuff later on to avoid ramping the team up too much.
Look at Epic games, ~5k staff before the recent layoff. The games they developed over the past 10+ years aren’t even AAA production levels.
It doesn’t bother me, but it definitely has the AI-powered contributions included.
My actual “solution” was to do nothing and just let Kubernetes restart it when it OOMs 😅
My latest example of this was a memory leak in some old software I wrote. It grew linearly with traffic, so it wasn’t until traffic randomly spiked that I started seeing problems.
Not everything has to be about you. See all the other posts on this thread and accept it resonates with their experiences.
Laziness is a lazy diagnosis, complexity and ignorance are the more common causes.
An LLM made the logo, if OP is attaching their ego to it that’s their problem.

I’d expect the performance to be awful but it still has relatively niche usecases, especially where performance isn’t a concern. I’m imagining legacy apps that don’t speak S3.
If their progress on GPUs is anything to go by, it will take them at least a decade just to catch up to current DRAM state of the art. And it’s not like there was no incentive to build good GPUs for the last 10-15 years.
Of course they could get lucky, or could steal technologies to accelerate things, but I wouldn’t count on it happening quickly either way.
Be the change you want to see.
