    Umm sorry billion users? How many companies does have that kind of user base? Not trying to discredit the speaker here but people who work at these companies are a bit delusional. Not everyone gets a chance to work at a place with a billion users. Of course there is a lot of literature out there is there to help you understand what does it takes to run things at that scale but unless you actually work at that scale it is really hard to know things in depth. And no, blogs don’t help because they don’t go in enough depth for obvious reasons. Other than that it is fine.
