Spoiler alert: it's not how FAANG operate.

The idea that FAANG are faster then your startup is absurd on its face. The revenue and legal risk is absolutely huge.

The idea that all dev teams within a single FAANG operate in the same manner is also absurd (much less that all dev teams across all FAANGs operate in some identical, optimal fashion).

Finally, the idea that you should blindly emulate FAANG because they’ve clearly thought through what is the best is also absurd. They make poor, short-sighted choices too.

Its never made much sense to me when people hinge their beliefs on entities that have to acquire little companies to round out their portfolios.
