- PaulHoule 3y agoNot if you do things the Google way. What takes you 30 minutes takes them 30 weeks. Google has two big strengths: (1) they build systems at huge scale and (2) they are wildly profitably. (2) is also weakness because it means they can afford to have highly inefficient processes. It is the reason why Google keeps pushing trash software on the world like Kubernetes (takes that 30 minute project and multiples it by a lot all by itself) as well as cargo cult management processes like OKRs. (Ever see what happens to a startup that is just treading water when management stops everything and introduces a layer of meaningless paperwork?)
