    Maybe I should’ve said “midsize.”

    My point is that they’re not a company with tens or hundreds of thousands of employees. And, as someone that usually likes to work at companies that are about size, you can run out of engineers pretty quickly if you’re not focused and or working on stuff that is wickedly complex. And Mozilla is definitely doing the latter.

    The foundation is about 80 folks on payroll, although OSS projects have about 1000 contributors popping in and out.

    There is also the “MZLA Technologies” subsidiary, which I think has some dedicated headcount under it as well. Although, there isn’t a lot of public info about that company.

    Given that Mozilla is a small company, and small company’s really can’t afford to lose focus for the major roadmap initiatives, I’m going to bet that this was someone’s hackathon project.

    “We want to operate like the world’s largest startup”

    Yeah, that’s not how it works when you get over 1000 people. And it’s definitely not how it works when you get over a million people.

    Startups work because the product is small and everyone can be consulted and looped in with ease. Massive companies need thoughtful processes and communication practices to work.

    This is hard to do well, and any time someone says they’re going to work like a “large startup,” you’re putting yourself in company with a number of other stupid leaders who have received some dumb advice from 20 year olds at McKensey or Deloitte.

    The base 16 is $800 and a separate USB C cable from Apple is about $20 for 1m and $30 for 2m.

    So, if you buy a phone and cable, you’re spending about as much as you did last year, adjusting for inflation.

    Is there a way to ban a non-commenter who keeps abusing the report system?

    As far as I’m aware, mods can only access banning functionality on user comments. If someone in a community keeps pestering mods with BS reports, but that user has not posted a comment in the community, is there a way to ban that person? I can’t seem to find anything in the UI to handle this use case.
