Yep! You nailed it. My app performs an on-the-fly search on the client. I replied to @lewisjoe's comment above this one with some more details about tricks I'm employing to make searches fast.
This is neat, but I would like it to search against the entire archive of all youtube videos. I know you can't do that...but perhaps a Google employee making use of Google's Big Data offerings.
In this case it's survivor bias in that "We did these things and we didn't fail, ergo these things must be great."
Whenever you see a talk like this, always assume that it's BS. It might not be used by any real customers, or might still be in development. There might be a bunch of fires happening all the time due to things the talk doesn't mention. And it might be shuttered the next month if it's too expensive, complicated, obscure, or hard to support. These talks should only be considered aspirational sources of ideas, but never taken as a gold-standard battle-tested model, until they tell you how it fails. Only after you know how a system fails and how to respond to it can it be said to be reliable.
Focusing on the practices of successful companies makes you overlook the millions of other companies with the same practices, yet going bankrupt.
It is only through understanding what can fail that you can figure out causation.
And since Atlassian failed here, the talk might expose some of the failure's causes, or at least cast doubt over the usefulness of the practices presented.
Because of money obviously. If someone is out of a job for a month, especially if they don't have "deep" savings, they'll take the first or highest offer they get.
Also, how do you know they aren't having a harder time hiring?
