I sort of agree. I’m a googler, but these are very much just my opinions, and there’s some bias, but…
The bureaucracy I experience as an individual contributor and engineer kinda makes sense. It’s things like ensuring that systems will scale, ensuring that user data is treated in the right way, ensuring that access and security is done correctly, etc.
There is a lot to all of that. A lot of clicking buttons on internal tools to make sure that whole chains of systems understand everything to ensure oversight, and sometimes it’s a huge pain, especially coming from a startup world.
However there have been very few times when I’ve truly thought something wasn’t worth it at the scale we operate at, and responsibility we have (to users, regulation, etc).
