Yep. It takes way fewer people to operating a working system than to build a new one. And the nature of capitalism is that you will pare down your numbers until you have the absolute minimum staffing you need to keep the lights on. Then when everything explodes, you completely lack the know-how to fix it. Then the CEO yells as the tech executive who responds by demanding hourly updates from the two junior devs who operate the site, and nobody wants to admit that they aren't capable of fixing it, and nobody's gonna OK a really expensive "we're gonna spend a month emergency building a new thing" plan because nobody's okay with because a month is obviously way too much time you need to fix it right now, and then three months go by and here you are.
