Big, non-tech companies use completely crap tools in a lot of cases, compared to even 50 person startups. Google's a clear outlier in terms of tool quality, even for a tech giant, but I've seen some great in-house or newer tools used by a lot of startups, too. There are often huge differences in tool quality vs. task for companies of the same size/stage, too.
I respect that opinion, but it's different from my experience. My experience is that non-tech companies just don't care (i.e., we can do what we want), and that startups spend way too much time worrying about the tools they will need when they get as big as google. Instead of, you know, getting as big as google.
Startups don't need most of the things that big companies use. Trying to use them before you need them seems like an absurd waste of time.
