Unity Software said Monday that it would lay off about 1,800 employees, or 25% of its overall workforce, as part of a corporate restructuring plan.
The company said it is unable to “reasonably estimate the costs and charges in connection with this reduction, which it expects will be substantially incurred in the first quarter of 2024.”
In October, John Riccitiello retired as Unity’s CEO, while former Red Hat CEO James Whitehurst became interim CEO.

I'm curious how much those 2300 contributors have actually added to the repo though. Are they the equivalent of 10 full time devs? 100? 5?

IE how much have the 2300 contributors added in aggregate compared to the 10 FTE?

My gut instinct is that the employees probably account for 90% of the codebase.
