thats like saying everyone in the ford factory is hired to design vehicles. some of the bunch are just workers implementing instructions. i interviewed a few ex google, yahoo and amazon and they were exactly that.

A few out of tens of thousands will sneak through, especially if they got managed out of couldn't hack it.

The vast majority at the FAANGs are full stack engineers which includes long term system design.

The comparison to a car assembly factory is so ridiculously out of alignment with reality that I can see why you chose to go with a throwaway account.
