I have seen so many posts with people saying, come on its just a website and an app how many people do you really need to run it ?
Of course they have no idea of the backend that is behind the web page or app they are using to read twits. They think a "coder" is just a person writing lines of codes all day. In reality software engineers are much more than that. Designing and maintaining a system of that size requires complex engineering, coordination between subsystems, etc.. Writing code for it is the last and simplest step that you do once you have a solid design meeting specifications.
