My favorite example is that once upon a time the Mobile team was suffering because beta labs had no Varnish cache, so the Mobile team built the Varnish cache for beta labs themselves, and we've all benefited ever since. Likewise with Parsoid and the VE team, and a bunch of other stuff earlier on.</div>
