Number of employees edit

I am guessing that the numbers in the brackets represent years. So how come we are 2017 and we have data for 2018? --Rbaleksandar (talk) 08:04, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Last sentence and reference of introduction indicates Snapshot's on the way to having 30 developers by 2018. If you believe that this is too far out to be included in info box, I've no objection deleting the reference. NoWorries (talk) 08:21, 20 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I read the last sentence and it states will employ a team of about thirty developers, which automatically means that it's not a certain thing. It is perfectly fine to mention it (especially since there is a reference) in the body of the article but I've always thought that the infobox is the place where solid facts are placed. --Rbaleksandar (talk) 09:52, 21 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I appreciate the scrutiny, Rbaleksandar. My perspective is that the infobox entry for number of employees is by its nature an estimate, unless the business is a small, stable handful of employees. Payrolls shrink and grow over the course of a year even when a business is not focused on expansion. The forward-looking growth estimate is perhaps useful information here for showing a growth trend rather than a decline. That said, I'm completely open to redacting or editing the entry. Just explaining my thought processes in providing the info in the infobox. --NoWorries (talk) 17:34, 21 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
