I mean there's also like the super not obvious stuff that comes with scale. Facebook wanted to hire me to join their team that does supply chain optimization to ensure that computers get to their datacenters fast enough. That's like a reasonable thing for them to have but it's totally removed from the product.
- netcan 5y agoGood point, but is "supply chain optimization to ensure that computers get to their datacenters fast" a task that is not required at 2012 FB-scale, or is it an optimisation that FB just didn't have the scale for in 2012. The former implies inefficiencies of scale. The latter implies efficiencies. I think both exist.
