In a lot of ways, large tech companies are living in the future. They have to invent things that later open source tools will imitate and then others start to use. Examples: map reduce, various rpc standards like graphql and grpc, and a whole mess of non-relational data stores. I work with kubernetes a lot right now and it's effectively a smaller, less featurefull version of what google runs on, but it's light years ahead of what we were using before. A huge portion of the industry will be 10, 20, even 30 years behind and that's fine. I don't think there's any myths about this.
