"your type of company" sod off. Meta is only like this because its got a massive advertising revenue stream.
the sheer amount of engineering time wasted because we don't document stuff is astounding.
For example, how many message queue systems do we have?
how many half arsed message queues have been created because they didn't know about FOQS?
Yes lmao, the number of times I would start off on some nominally useful task only to find out 3 weeks later that there is actually already a solution to that created by team XYZ that nobody in my reporting chain has ever heard of…(3 weeks was optimistic case, I remember my team member getting like 2 months in to some new data pipeline before finding out some tables already existed that did what he needed…)
