To me it would inspire ambition, not fear, but I guess it depends on the listener.

If you work at Yahoo (or Google, or Facebook), and the product you want to work on ins't going to affect 100 million users, then you should probably be working somewhere else, it's simply the nature of their businesses.

It's not meant to be easy, and it never will be, but it has to be the goal.

If you want to make niche software, Yahoo is not the place to go it, anymore than Unilever is the place for people who want to make small amounts of high qualty hand made soaps.
