I'm a professional software engineer working for a small VC funded startup that is has been breaking even for about a year now and will hopefully take off really soon. All the stuff I do is coded on and running on Linux. A large chunk of the code is C++, with some C and another quite large chunk of code being a bunch of small utilities written in Ocaml. In any given week I could be hacking on Linux device drivers, writing networking code in C++ or writing utilities in Ocaml. > Yeah, I'd like to work for Google, but who doesn't right? :) Not me. I've worked for large companies (SUN back in the early 2000s) and small companies and I much prefer the small ones because I get to do a wider range of stuff, there's far, far less bureaucracy and the management structure is flatter.
