I don’t think extra large tech companies are uniquely capable of any meaningful innovation. Ie. there’s no benefit to everyone by having them exist at that size.
In fact, I think their size makes them uniquely incapable of innovation. All they can do is push everyone down to stay on top.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI imagine hardware innovation these days requires huge amounts of money.
- beebeepka 4y agoBut you mostly need the money, not the headcount
- lotsofpulp 4y agoWhere is the money going to come from? The large tech companies are the ones with the best cash flows.
- beebeepka 4y agoThey give the money to smaller teams and swallow them upon success. Isn't that how it's been working for a while?
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI am confused what we are conversing about. Waterluvian wrote the big tech companies are not capable of innovation, so my response was the funding still needs to come from them. Whether or not it is a large group of employees or a small group of employees doing the innovating is a separate matter, but the need for huge cash flows is there (if my assertion is correct).
- beebeepka 4y agoThen we agree. I must have missed something as I was finishing a bottle of 7.5% alcohol beer.
