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.
