I'm probably wrong but Tom made MySpace and still does most of the work for it... (Okay, maybe he didn't do it all himself but I bet he only had a team of around 10 working on it)

The facebook developers have to maintain a website used by millions of people every day, keep it/the code running efficient, code new things, fix issues/bugs, update the API and much more.

If Facebook had 3 developers, it would still be where it was a few years ago.
I forgot about facebook's API actually, so that's a fair point, I took some research into facebook's F8 keynote and they only have 80 website developers, which is hard to believe.. Surely they must clash with each other etc.. as TomSpit said.

They need to update the code and the website, develop new things. If only you could be in the boardroom at Facebook or behind the scenes they will be planning/making things that we will see 2-3 years from now. They're constantly working on new features that we have no idea about until 1 month away from them releasing it.

At lolwut: Myspace had hardly no users when tom and others made it, now they have millions = a lot of developers..
Developing one feature doesn't take a million developers, facebook only have 80.
