This is my dream computing experience. No laptop, no desktop, just your phone and you plop it on a dock with maybe an external SSD and GPU for games. I feel the cloud could even enable this to some degree but that feels kind of gross. It would be so cool to have something like this though.

Not that I know, but in my experience, the stress for me came from the increased level of expectations at faang vs non-faang. I recently moved to a faang-tier company and the most jarring thing to me was how much the expectations around the quality of what I produced grew. Not just in terms of code but like artifacts, documents, and discussions that needed to happen. Another aspect is how overwhelming a large organization can be for people. Going from a 10-50 person startup to an engineering org of 5k people is pretty different. The sheer scale can be stressful in and of itself as you try to figure out what's important to your section of the org.

Not saying non-faang can't have that stress, more just that sometimes the expectations are drastically different and that can feel like a sink or swim thing for people. I'd also say it depends on where you get placed in a faang company, some teams are more dynamic and free wheeling than others which I'm sure plays into it.

This is a neat idea. Are there examples of this in the wild?
