To sound a slightly different note:
Yes - there's lots of friction. Bureaucracy is inevitable, given the cost of turning the ship/the risk level if something bad sneaks through.
That said, there is a ton of potential leverage at BigCo - the scale is extraordinary.
It is a trade - you get a far bigger lever, but it takes way longer to pull.
- nijave 4y agoYup, risk is a huge differentiator. Ship a perf regression at startup? Who cares: hotfix and carry on. Ship a perf regression at #BigCo: risk massive financial impact when mega app falls over. Deploy a vulnerable VM at startup you configured wrong? Probably nobody will even notice. At #BigCo, risk an advanced persistent threat that's actively scanning your infra finding it immediately and compromising a massive amount of data.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoThank you. I've been feeling frustrated at how slow (and hard) it is to pull the lever, and never noticed how much more powerful the lever is.
