I’ve been in the industry for almost 20 years, and been part of startups and worked at FAANGs, but I’ve never experienced a company have that mindset.

My experience has been that individual engineers are the ones that have that mindset and if two or more coincidentally get to work on the same project, the strive for excellence flourishes across the team and sometimes beyond. But it’s a very fragile ecosystem that can be disrupted by an eager management.
