Yes, I know. What of it? Comes with the size and money.

Just like when we were building medical stuff that came with it's own audits and how banking also does.

Cost of earning all that sweet cash.




You started off with

And now we're at

> What of it? Comes with the size and money.

which is quite the difference. It no longer matters if you did a good job, suck it up and take the audit?

It also wholly misses what the root-comment Googler was complaining about. You may feel that Google as a whole "deserves" this somehow, but the engineer was saying it feels like a slap in the face to everyone who was working hard on DMA compliance.

> Why should trillion dollar companies get a pass? Because some engineer will feel bad about a probe that is a mile over their head?

No, but this is a remarkably unsympathetic take to someone who is venting. You're looking to Google-bash, and that's fine, I'm usually happy to join you in that, but look past the megacorp to the person who is pissed that their hard work and that of their team seems pointless.
