- zzzcpan 8y agoDogfooding doesn't work in large corporations.
- zbentley 8y agoCare to elaborate?
- aesh2Xa1 8y agoIt's an idiomatic term. It means to use the thing you produce yourself. So when, in the case of Gmail, it is slow and painful to use for yourself, you will fix it.
- vickychijwani 8y agoI think the question wasn't "what is dogfooding" but rather "why do you say dogfooding doesn't work at large cos?"
- gnachman 8y agoYes. It was broken for the ten years I worked there.
- rahimnathwani 8y agoI use multiple Gmail accounts, but keep them in different Chrome profiles. If you don't want to do that (e.g. because you want all your email tabs in the same window), you can just use the account switcher on the top right, or just change the 0 in the URL to a 1 or 2 or whatever.
