- TulliusCicero 8y ago> I don't understand what Stripe engineers work on all day. Software products are icebergs. For all the things you see as a user, there's way, way more going on under the hood that you never see or think about. Some of that is platform/infrastructural work, some of it is features that target things you don't know or care about.
- ahstilde 8y agoYou can explore Stripe's website to get an understanding for their product size and scope: https://stripe.com/ https://stripe.com/ . Also, I promise you don't understand how much work goes on behind the scenes at payments companies around fraud detection and prevention. Fraud costs account for ~3% of revenues at large financial firms.
