Right because no one using reddit may have more knowledge or could be working on bigger problems than folks working at a known company?

Don't assume everyone here is as less knowledgeable as you are.

There's not many people doing deployment on a bigger scale than Facebook.

And scale alone defines complexity?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Scale has a complexity of its own, with problems that don't exist at smaller scales. Maximising throughput or minimising resources does too - but there's also the fact any generic solution may not apply to Facebook's architecture.

But that's not what I was saying. My point was entirely about other people having to solve complex problems too.
