It is a paradox that Google who boasts themselves to be very technical, gave CEO job to someone who was never software engineeer or written single line of code. His path to fame initially was product management of IE plugin. Smart enough to suck up to founders and give a perception of no threat to them, assured his path to the throne by kicking down others and grabbing successful projects from other leaders.
- gvand 8y agoThis is exactly what I thought when I saw that the guy that did those lame demos on ChromeOS during I/O had just became CEO. And my opinion hasn't changed since that, yes, he's a non-threatening kind of guy and for most that aligns with their shallow definition of nice, but other that this? From the outside I can't really see anything else (and so maybe I should keep my opinions to myself).
