Google, Amazon, etc.
The reward structure for quite a few of these (FAANG) companies is geared towards launching new features and/or products.
There is little incentive to improve existing software (as an IC). Which is why, for example, every "feature" at Amazon has a press release.
Behind every press release is a promotion for someone.
- Mindwipe 6y agoI think that's a bit unfair on Amazon. Amazon has a lot of incentives for teams to maintain existing products and their core infrastructure, and Google just seem to completely lack that.
