8k across all of the IT orgs. This project was highly visible to the consumer, which is probably why the author picked it to write about.

A lot of the other stuff is not sexy at all, like data center consolidations.

I agree it does seem high for what is described in the article, but it's a bit more than just your run of the mill ecommerce site.
