Big tech profitability does not get hurt by hiring mediocre people. They are post-talent businesses. They do not depend on tech talent to drive and keep profit margins but rather depend on established monopoly and maintaining barrier-to-entry to continue their profitability. They show their growth by simply showing more ads or hiking subscription prices or through more sales people - not by developing new ground breaking tech. Apple is likely exception here.

> post-talent businesses. He, this seems to be quite accurate. I wonder how companies come up with that blindness. Internal politics? I don't believe you have to be the best hacker to start a successful business at all, but some companies try to go out of their way to make working there unattractive.
