Just a general question from somebody outside the tech scene - what do engineers (YOU) do at established tech companies? *instagram - no changes to the front end, no new feature.. what do you do all day? *facebook - same old just a refreshed interface every long time *Netflix - mobile app’s remained the same, roku the same, etc *uber - ??? maybe the layoffs were waranted note: google, microsoft, amazon I get no sarcastic answers please ... be descriptive

Hmmm how about thinking from let’s say VM based application deployments to Containers, or from something written in old technology/language to new technology/language. Post 2017 buzz word of Microservices, bringing old monolith to new pattern.
No I get it don’t get me wrong... but why does FB for example need so many engrs just for this?
I’m building software tools and systems to help non-engineers do their job. That’s one category of engineering. There’s another category which is to build software systems to try to improve customer/user experience. I think every engineer falls into one or both of those categories.
Apple I totally get... they release new things and they’re growing their services business, tv, os etc Again facebook uber instagram
Those engineers are probably either working on new features or products that the customers will use. Or they are working on internal tools that people inside the company will use :D
