> Too many of our smartest minds are working on trivial tasks and spending their time in corporations where they feel invisible. The vast majority of my friends who work for big companies say they’re bored, unchallenged, and under-employed. They don’t see the tangible benefits of their hard work.

If you work for a big company you could potentially work on exciting stuff. In my experience the smaller places tend to be risk averse or they just can't afford the bleeding edge stuff. So you'll often be stuck fixing obscure bugs introduced by former employees and dealing with bad infra decisions.
