Point taken. Rackspace at least seems to be technical enough to be able to put engineers first. :) I've not had so many jobs at product companies, but I've never seen this even when I was doing consulting-type work and came around a bit, and many companies (at least here in Germany) being decades old are simply not digital-first. Maybe the mechanical engineers building the (non-computer) hardware have enough clout, but software is really often not more than a cost factor. I guess the bigger and older the company the more likely that everyone hates internal tooling, and you were focusing on the exceptions, whereas my life was the opposite. Waiting for an internal server just to deploy your shiny new thing could take months.
