My employer originally had a Wordpress-based blogging product.

They spent more than $2M writing their own blogging system, and it still was missing many features that come with Wordpress.

They ditched it and switched back to Wordpress.

TWO MILLION DOLLARS on a blogging system.

I'm speechless.

It might surprise you even more to know that the creators of the most popular blogging system have raise $317M.

10 silicon Valley software engineers on something goes through 2 million in under a year when you consider total cost of employment.

If it takes 10 engineers a year to build a blog then something is very wrong.

I would like to see a study where one would give the same project with a solid deadline to three different teams of 3, 15, 30 engineers and see how long it takes each them to finish it.
