So Dropbox is much smaller than the other two in your list.

Yeah.

So that is a big difference.

Smaller code base.

Yeah.

And Dropbox sort of, at least during the time I was there, had the tendency of sort of

Making a big plan, putting the whole company behind that plan for a year, and then evaluate, and then suddenly find that everything was wrong about the plan, and then they had to do something completely different.

And so there was like...

And so now all the directors are being reshuffled and this guy was in charge of infrastructure one year and the next year he was made in charge of, I don't know, product development.

A lot of internal sort of hand-wringing about things like that.
