Re:Snap is laying off about 100 engineers by throwaway84742 on Wednesday March 07, 2018 @11:32PM (#16542289)
Two reasons why startups amass huge numbers of people:

1. CEO is a shithead who doesn’t know what to do, so hiring is a futile attempt to do everything at once

2. Huge number of employees looks better when coming up with valuation for a round.

The two tend to be self reinforcing. And #1 survives and blossoms after IPO.
