That’s what Google is. I mean, why can’t everyone lavish these sort of perks, and this sort of environment, on their employees? Not all businesses scale well.

That’s what Google is. I mean, why can’t everyone lavish these sort of perks, and this sort of environment, on their employees? Not all businesses scale well. Software is one of them. Once you develop them the cost of adding more users - or selling more ads is virtually zero. Music was another. High speed trading maybe is also in this category. The real world is outside Google:) Does anyone know how many employees are at Googleplex or take a guess?
