Which is why they drive to work in a Model T and rely on an IBM 7090 for their backroom stuff, correct?
This is a goofy analogy. Whining that BigCo, Inc. won't shift their embedded "way of doing things" is like whining when it's not easy to up and move the Empire State Building... there's a ton of architectural complexities and in the end the building is still making money and housing people.
Not that I'm advocating the status quo just "because", but the reality is that big companies work via risk models that determine it's often better to stay with the SQ than move "forward".
In comparison, hopping around with tech in a startup is like packing up the RV and shuffling somewhere else... it's lightweight and easy to do so.
