This kind of issues is so typical of SV... When i think at the average salary at Google, the fact that they’ve lived as a company out of the same product for more than 15 years, and still do, and that their biggest concern isn’t to survive or gain marketshare, but rather PR issues... i feel like looking at those reality TV shows , seeing the lives or insanely privileged people that really don’t know what to make of their time, while the rest of us strive just to have a decent life.
It’s really time other geographical places, in other countries, become good competitors.
- pm90 8y agoIts all just your perception. In those 15 years they have made the following contributions (and this is just a select few): Golang, MapReduce, Kubernetes, Containers (well, C Groups), GMail, Android, Chrome. Not to mention all the amazing open source contributions and god knows what else they do in secret.
- kyle_v 8y agoJust to name a few more: translate, drive, adsense, images, earth, maps, glass, cloud platform, chrome TV, sketchup. Yes they are primarily a search engine, but they are heavily diversified, not to mention one company being responsible for basically the entire consumer internet is insane.
- bsaul 8y agoI was talking about their source of income. I think adwords / adsense still accounts for the the absolute majority of it.
