"When WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook, they had 35 engineers. They were able to do this in part because they didn't "follow playbook," and while you probably can't go that extreme..."

Not my area of expertise at all but, 35 engineers for WhatsApp sounds like a lot

What about several thousand engineers for Twitter then? =)

Regarding WhatsApp, I would say that 35 engineers is OK. Not so much, but not so few also.
