"Its like being an awesome carpenter and saying “I want to go work at Ikea” so I can churn out follower products like an open-source mobile OS 5 years after Symbian or web-based email 10 years after Hotmail or a webOS 3 years after Palm did it. Way to gooooo, you are such wonderful innovators, you are applying the Microsoft method of “do it several years after everybody else”."
He then proposes that these developers instead work at a company that is producing a simple email device fifteen years after the launch of RIM's predecessor of the BlackBerry.
- leftnode 16y agoYeah, I'm not sure I'd want to work with this guy. Working at Google may not be like a starup, but you're with some of the most intelligent and well respected developers in the industry working on products that when launched, will instantly be used by millions of people. Also, Gmail, Android and other Google platforms haven't innovated anything and they probably should have never been made.
- dpmorel 16y agoI think the "most intelligent" Google line is also crap-ola. My friends who ended up working at Google were not the best of the bunch at all, especially vs the ones I know at start-ups. I've worked at start-ups that had dev teams that could eat every google developer I know for lunch.
