Developer velocity is extremely important at FAANG scale.
- that_guy_iain 3y agoIs it really? Don't they work really slowly compared to most of the industry? I really get the impression that it's slow progress for things at FAANG.
- super_flanker 3y agoNot really, especially Facebook (Meta) moves really fast. They have a slogan "Move fast, break things", okay not "Break things" anymore. But you get the gist, in my experience working at almost all of FAANG, Meta and Netflix move the fastest.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoI think AWS must be the slowest of the bunch tbh. Too many meetings.
- super_flanker 3y agoI agree, but Google is the slowest.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoWhy do you say that?
- super_flanker 3y agoIt could be different for other teams, but in my team we spend a lot of time writing design docs, discussing new features (which we never end up implementing), taking a lot of time in code reviews, making sure that public changes are backward compatible. Hence at the end producing very little output and wasting tons of time in the due process.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoSounds like us tbh. So many hours wasted writing deeply technical documents that only few engineers have the background to go through, too many hours wasted on huge ass documents supporting PoCs. Ugh.
- ItsMeYourUncle 3y agoSlow compared to startups, very fast compared to similarly sized companies, even other tech companies.
