Those large sites sure have a whole team attending them. And can update it 24/7.

And those sites became large because people could get them up and running quickly which is what made PHP a popular language. Hobbyist programmers made it what it is, and many of those hobbyist programmers went on to build big companies... Mark Zuckerberg, Matt Mullenweg, just to name a few.
