many tech companies, although they solve real people's problems, do not deserve the recognition. For example, Uber, Netflix, Airbnb, Meta etc They solve one problem really well but they just pay high TC because they have the monopoly in that business and charge a lot of people money. Real tech companies are like Amazon AWS, Microsoft, Google, Apple, NVIDIA etc where they have a wide range of products solving real problems in many domain with a difficult to copy tech. Google has YouTube, Maps, Gmail, Search, Android, Play, Chrome, Cloud, Drive, Office stuff etc Apple has Tech to make their own chips that perform much better than Intel, vertical products, cutting edge security, reliable software, app store etc Microsoft has Office Suite, Azure, LinkedIn, Hardware (laptops/xbox), Windows etc Amazon Best Cloud so far that enables 1M+ companies infra NVIDIA Best GPUs with CUDA software that is unmatched with any competitor But netflix, uber, meta, airbnb etc are just mostly one trick pony that is mainly based on marketing, can be copied easily tech-wise. Meta can be revolutionary if their ARVR does really hit though We tech employees make them as amazing "tech" companies but I know you won't work for them if their offers were below 100k. You are working there for mostly money and that is the only reason why they are desirable
Uber has Uber, Uber eats, Uber freight, Uber one now includes package dropping, etc. btw.
None are necessarily difficult nor revolutionary nor high tech. Uber Eats = Doordash. Uber freight is not doing so well but initially just logistics dashboard similar to Flexport. Sure the employees are smart and amazing but the company itself and their products are just copy cats of other tech that Uber can leverage to make shareholders look forward
Google maps = Garmin GMail = Hotmail YouTube = Vimeo Chrome = Mozilla Drive = Dropbox Apple chips = Intel iPhone = Samsung Vision pro = oculus Not groundbreaking at all

Isn't it harder to succeed in a saturated market without a moat than it is to coast on past success surrounded by an insurmountably high wall that would-be competitors are hesitant to scale?
Elon is that you?
Did you just choose 10x because it's "cool"?
The amount of tech critics that don’t understand supply and demand is hilarious.
Google can easily get rid of 50% with no bottom line effect on their revenue. The work of 10 people at Google can easily be done by 1 person at any other company.
A lot of these companies hired for the sole purpose of preventing people from working for the competition and have armies of people doing low value work
The code is too complicated by now for that. Maybe if the people that remain have been on team for 5 years. But what if they leave?
Why is Microsoft even on this list? Apple beat them in the personal computer game. the xbox is just a game focused PC. PS5 is vastly superior. Sure, they were early innovators but now there’s better/competing versions for everything they have.
Have you heard of Windows? Office? Teams? Oh sorry.. you just do all your work on them.. Lol. This guy hasn’t seen GitHub Copilot.. or Windows 365. We lead in AI.. Apple depends 100% on China. Google and Amazon have to make sure a personal assistant doesn’t affect its core business.
Windows is an old relic and the only reason people still use windows is because it’s cheaper and more game friendly. Google docs is better than Office. You acquired GitHub. You lead in AI because you partner with ChatGPT?

I agree with the title, but I don't think google or the other companies that you mentioned are separate. All tech is inflated and most of the work is useless.
You agree with the title? TF does 10x less mean ffs.
