alt Hacker NewsIt does happen, ex. the financial industry is famously subject to the logging, and you'll see most startups take their first big leap into the enterprise by adding complete logging specifically for many who implement that.
I worked at Google between 2016 and 2023 and I feel embarrassed by this. I knew it was wrong, but just said "oh this must be what being at bigco is like." We were an exception.
And the result is that the financial industry is basically untouchable. Everything is buried in so much red tape that it's impossible to compete. And the consequence is something we feel across society. Eg Visa and Mastercard picking and choosing which credit card transactions they allow has an impact on what is and isn't acceptable in our culture.
And nothing can be done about it.
