I have zero interest in understanding how Google or Facebook or Microsoft or Apple or IBM or even Twitter does anything right now. They are big. I am not.
These companies have deep-pockets of capital to spend on such luxuries as individual contributors who can make it their jobs to deep-dive into single, esoteric, poorly specified tools. I do not.
Late September last year, Twitter laid off 336 people. In 15 years, I've never worked in a company that had more than even 150. A company the size of Google could probably hire and fire more people in a single year than I've ever been in professional contact. I cannot.
So how they operate, from soup to nuts, probably has zero bearing on how I should operate.
