I work in FAANG as well.

Never seen a place with worst technical debt, complexity and just difficult to work in.

I am convinced that commodification is what is actually causing all the issues we are seeing.

A bunch of mediocre developers getting in the way and creating complexity without any creativity, out of the box thinking or even holistic view of the system.

But management wants more people so that everybody can leave and not holding the company hostage.

Guess what? It is only worse. Very few people can actually make progress and those people are constrained by the whole team around them.
