How's that working out for you?
In most cases, and I'm talking right up to the scale of very large enterprises[1] you don't need that much complexity to scale technically and, if you avoid the complexity, you don't need that many people either.
And I don't think you can ever afford to be myopic if you want to effectively deliver solutions to real business problems.
[1] 90k employees, specifically, but also, specifically, not a tech company. A traditional company with a tech function.
