“HTML All The Things” is a web development podcast and community started by developers Matt and Mike in Ontario, Canada, discussing web development, small business management, self-employment, and time management. In a recent episode, Mike shares his theory that AI will make it easier to prototype and launch startups, potentially providing more opportunities for developers outside big tech. They compare working in startups versus big tech in terms of career growth, pace, culture, job security, and more, drawing on personal experiences and industry research. The episode delves into various aspects like scope of responsibilities, development pace, impact and ownership, career growth and mentorship, job security and stability, culture and work environment, and tech stack and innovation in both startup and big tech environments.
