Ah! Sounds interesting and useful but behind a paywall :(

How come Font-Awesome repositories has 10,654 contributors, but only 9,617 as a company?

Would have like to hear at least one concrete exemple of startup actually doing that. Seems a bit theoretical at the moment, as big companies doesn't need to do that thanks to existing datasets, and I've never heard any startups using dozens (hundreds?) of contractors for this kind of job.

Classic Pareto setup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle)

Any idea why this come up one year after being published?

Not that simple. Having only one cloud provider allow you to make the most of it.

Once you have two providers, you are forced to only use the features offered by each of them and use an abstract layer (API agnostic dev).

Plus, AWS offers a wide range of strategies to ensure the availability of its infrastructure (Availability Zone, Regions, CDN etc.)
