Question about women in their 30ās?
Those who think Google has the best engineers and tech, and those who have actually worked at Google. Seriously though where are the good teams? My team has no leadership, all the TLs are coasting, and it takes us half a year to ship simple features that I could write in weeks. Where do all these supposed smart engineers work at?
Try to change it
Facebook?
Lol have you ever used Facebook? Their mobile site has been broken for almost a year now. Notifications don't work at all: you have to refresh the entire page to get anything to show up.
Sounds like user error. FB works fine for me.
is ur team hiring ? š
They work at Amazon. We shipped over 1000 new features in AWS last year.
If it takes the team half a year to launch something you could put together in weeks maybe you should do that and be a superstar. Though given your attitude I'm guessing you're some new dude who won a few coding competitions and thinks he's amazing but doesn't have a clue how to build things at Google scale.
Yet, Google isnāt known to be the fastest company nowadays. There must be some truth to that and Iād give the benefit of the doubt to op.
Sometimes it is not about being fast... being scalable is more important. OP do sounds like a fresh grad or someone who hasnāt work for too long (probably less than 5 yrs?)
If you want to ship things fast go work at a startup or Amazon. Half a year does seem pretty crazy though. I'd ask around to see if that's the norm wrt the scale of the project and the number of customers those features affect.
Like any other company Google has both good and bad people. Look at the messaging shit Google throws on us. First itās gChat then hangouts and then allo and duo. Now they want to fix messages. Messages team must have the most useless product managers and engineers at Google.
Come to FB and you'll be shipping non stop
Shipping peopleās data or shipping code?
We sell ads. We don't ship data
This inevitably applies to all teams once they reach a certain age
