I see starting to get standardized is acquisitions. As the volume of startups increases, big companies will start to develop standardized procedures that make acquisitions little more work than hiring someone.
I might agree with that statement if it wasn't so obviously self-serving (given pg's role in YC) and if it were a little more qualified.
If acquisitions go the way of existing standardized hiring practices then it's more likely that they will become burdened with the very kind of bureaucratic and institutional nonsense that has traditionally prevented big companies from hiring high quality hackers.
