> For example, Google, Amazon and Apple are all still innovating pretty fast. I'd dispute that in general. And definitely if you mean amount of innovation per employee. They try random new things that either lives in its little corner, or gets killed in a couple of years. They sure have lots of churn and likely lots of lines of code flying around, but innovation...? There's two projects from Apple from the last decade that I'd call innovation. Amazon marketplace is static and AWS just gains new features that are mostly expected / business as usual. Google kills as much as it creates all the time. I really don't think those are great examples of moving fast.
