> The longer term Google/Meta stories are the rare exception. And that's not always a bad thing by any means. Seemingly there are two types of companies: "Killers" and "To Be Killed". In order for you to grow like Google/Facebook, you need to "Kill" (acquire) other companies, who will be the ones who die, eventually. Rackspace went to way of being acquired, so eventually to be killed. Google/Facebook went the way of acquiring other companies. The only way to win is to not be either. Just a company that provides enough profits to cover the expenses and pay out bonuses whenever, but not acquire others nor be acquired by others.
