Cluster management operates on a very large scale: whereas a storage system that can hold a petabyte of data is considered large by most people, our storage systems will send us an emergency page when it has only a few petabytes of free space remaining.This guy is not exaggerating.
This is why I love working at Google. (Did I mention that my coworker has a sign on his desk that says, "I work here because I love this shit!")

It would be awesome work somewhere that operates at that scale. I'm working on getting there ;)
