Yes, please note that BigTechCo using something in production is not an endorsement that it's production-ready. Ironically, more often than not, it means the opposite. BigTechCo employs the best computer scientists in the world to make all of that stuff work together, frequently including the project's founders/BDFLs so they can get whatever changes they need rammed through. Your company does not have this luxury.
- pyrale 10y agoIt is definitely an endorsement that it is ready, although maybe not we-search-code-monkeys ready. A large part of our jobs is figuring things out. People looking for so-called production-grade tech are usually looking for ready-for-managers tech in my experience.
