Hi pc, former employee here, from back in the day where meetings could be held in Alabama.

It's not that Stripe doesn't have broken things: I could have made a big list from back when I worked there, and I bet the list is still large. However, you are just underestimating how broken other companies are. I've worked at 10+ companies, some far bigger, and some far smaller than Stripe, and even the smallest ones had a higher percentage of broken things, and the brokenness is often in far more vital places. It's never going to happen, but you'd learn so much from joining me as a professional tourist, and going incognito as a random dev in another big company for 6 months.

But you are showing classic Stripe culture here: I remember a place where everyone was embarrassed about how bad they think their latest shipped email was, and how they have so much to do, while their typical coworkers is instead in awe of how good said shipped email was.
