Why is everything so hard in a large organization?
Big mistake in the article to claim that a single engineer could build Amazon, Facebook, or Google. Amazon is the most egregious.<p>&gt; . A software developer could write a simple e-commerce website in a few days; Amazon employs 1,335,000 people [source].<p>Those 1.4 million people are not coding the e-commerce app but making e-commerce happen as package handlers, drivers, finance teams, etc. on top of that Amazon has many non e-commerce related projects: building hardware (Kindles, Alexa, etc) , AWS and support, and on and on.
