I wonder what percentage of stuff is in house? I mean what percentage are developers who want to create new experimental things and the poor guys stuck kludging together some huge undocumented systems of contractor libraries?

Is innovation shot down if it competes with a contractor or has monetizing potential? How many fundamental systems are designed in-house and how many are external?

Is it easier to push yourself if you understand the potential significance of your work?
