i don't know current counts but tens of thousands of software engineers sounds (maybe 100x ?) too many.

there are huge numbers of hourly employees across the stores, though i don't know where they break down numbers of employees by type.

you think theres less than 1k SWE's ??

I know for a fact that Google Maps alone has over 1k SWE's. Chrome and android have several thousands, same with YouTube. Uber and snapchat and airbnb have thousands of SWEs.

Apple has dozens of products that are comparable to the ones listed. So either each of their SWE's is worth 100x other companies or my estimate is correct.
