> 3,200 employees.

This number tells so much about the improvements in developer productivity over the years.

Adjusting for TVM, the same revenue is now supported by far fewer engineers (obviously not all 3,200 employees where engineers). The Netscape engineers were highly skilled, so the change in the number of engineers cannot be explained away by differences in engineering skill/capability.
