There is a difference between working as part of a non-software company's IT department, and working for a company that makes "dull line-of-business apps". Google maintains a large array of line-of-business apps. You probably have one open in another tab right now. Email, calendar, others. In these cases, the software (or software as a service) is the product, it's just not a direct-to-consumer product.
