Behavior patterns that are beneficial for a small company are harmful to a big company. To give a concrete example, "move fast and break things" is fine when you have 100 people relying on you, and should probably be sanctionable (though, in our industry, it is often not outside the context of contracts and pre-arranged agreements) when you have 2 billion people using your system several dozen times a day for critical information, where their lives are materially negatively impacted if that information is false or out-dated.
If you are OK with things to break you are not relying on it, I would say.
I'm curious -- did any of your papers touch on the ethics of browsers or call on specific caucuses of Congress to take action that your employer will not?
That said, the corporate culture is bending authoritarian and Orwellian. The new changes are just an further evolution in that arc. This is part of the reason I left in 2019.
