From the HN thread on this post from Garry at posterous, about product minimalism:

Teams at apple are TINY. Mail is like 3 guys. …

Two things: The thread was about how high quality software is easier without politics you get in large teams, which I agree with, and I bet that a lot of the software we love was made by smaller teams than you’d think.

And, just 3 engineers on Mail explains a lot.

    Evan – I thought 3 sounded low. Care to elaborate? Maybe Garry was only counting one group? Leaving out framework developers and testers?
