Schmidt seems so different than the rest of Google. I feel like there are at least 2 internal cultures going on over there.
- rblion 16y agohahaha. this should be THE top comment but i sense a google bias on HN. do you?
- alttab 16y agoI don't think Google necessarily has a bias, but only drawing from my own experience - technology companies have two seemingly (even though they are not) independent goals. These are to create a great product/app/technology/service, and to make money. Page and Brin are hackers. Schmidt, while decorated with a Technical past, is a CEO. There are enough articles going around right now that say what a CEO's job is. I figure a lot of the hackers here may not have the direct experience hearing someone talk solely about making money - taking the product and the quality out of the equation completely. So my comment comes off as abrasive or inflammatory, even though its most likely the reality. Schmidt doesn't say "how can we make G-Mail great?" in meetings. He says "how can we be synonymous with the web, how can we be the absolute end-point for users and their technology?"
