I have worked with so many devs who justified their decisions with "because that's how $FAANG does it”.
My responsees move between:
1. Turns out, that's not how $FAANG does it
2. You are not $FAANG scale
3. You are not $FAANG maturity
4. That stack is way more complex than what we need

"but why can't small companies make good software then?"
because the majority of small companies are started by either big tech alumni, or kids who emulate them. they blindly copy both the tech stack (no your website doesn't need React) and the org design because they think it's Best Practices.

Nah, sorry. There are plenty of other STEM companies that will hire trans women. You can make good money building software and hardware that doesn’t vaporize small children. You don’t even have to work for a FAANG or AI company either.

shocked in 2024 to learn FAANG is not the economy
The U.S. economy added 353,000 jobs in January, a huge boost that was around twice what economists had expected. And yet, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Discord, Salesforce and eBay all made significant cuts in January, and the layoffs don’t seem to be abating.
The U.S. economy is booming. So why are tech companies laying off workers?
Google, Amazon, Microsoft and a raft of others fired thousands of workers in January, continuing a layoff wave that began in 2022.
