Google had amazingly below-average dev tools when I was there. It was standard in my org to have multi-minute builds, with input/output streamed to/from a remote server. Yes, every keystroke had a small but perceptible delay. I was working on an outlier project that took over 30 minutes to build for a single-character change. I never learned as slowly as I did during my time there. Startups generally have faster tech, bigcos generally have more customized tech with more options and that can operate ‘at scale.’
