Been at Google and FB. FB standard sliding: too much tech debt, too many rules now (all those privacy rules, omg), tools breaking all over… So done with this. Don’t believe in the metaverse.
Want to move to a smaller place. Preferably pre-ipo where still a lot needs to get done.
Where to go? No real startup please, something that has proven itself and will ipo in next 2-3 years.
Want to see the real deal?

Though Google tech is definitely a few notches above Fb, are you not instantly frustrate with the slow process and additional amount of bureaucracy?
Might have changed since my days there, but still hearing that a lot from people that came to Fb recently.
(awesome discussion btw)
Databricks would be my choice, they look solid
Also Meta, pay the Blind tax
The things listed would still exist with a different view library other than react for example.
I was under the impression that Meta uses Lerna to avoid repackaging/deploying the entire frontend when a change is made. Beyond that this feels like a CI/CD plus process problem rather than not being able to choose your stack at random.
Of course tech debt is big in what you mentioned and I can feel your pain. I guess I just don't understand your statement specifically about choosing tools as you go along.
Really? Just load the page and hit F5. Its pretty amazingly instant.
If you go to a startup you lose all the good infra as well. Scuba, dataswarm, ods, on demand dev servers (so automatic backups etc)
That stuff isn't necessarily trivial to set up either, even at a small scale.
