Since this has become a general thread about Epic, here are my comments:
I am amazed at some of the software Epic has built for itself over the years. Using its own database product (the backbone of the product they ship to customers), they built their own code review tools, design doc review tools, project management tools, time logging tools, etc. There is a unity and cohesion to the process of getting things done at Epic, better than my experiences at big tech.
It is very easy to answer questions like "how many dev-hours were spent fixing bugs caused by the code written to implement project X?" or "will there be any days next week where every dev who has contributed to codebase Y will be out of office?"
Imo they could really benefit from staffing infra/tooling teams better. Too many product devs, not enough devs tackling the low-hanging fruit that would make product devs way more productive.
