The problem with these companies is the stat padder employees these days. How many people do you genuinely know who are actual well.. engineers or at least creative minded? 90% of the people I meet these days (I’m in Bay Area) who work in tech just want to get these companies on their resume. People whose bio is basically I’m ex meta ex Amazon ex google. When most of your employees are only in it for the money and prestige, and nothing more, imo this dullness and stagnation is what you get. It’s quite toxic.. a culture focused on TC instead of creativity and earnest. Just people chasing a check for the sake of it. Compare that to the innovations that came out of these companies prior to the mid 2010s. Everything “cool” since then has just been to support their massive scale and not really to promote new and interesting things. Just my opinion.
