Yeah, it's a shame. They were a really exciting company when they were about creating good products and not just about making us the product.
Search was a game changer.
Gmail was an amazing product compare to the incumbents at the time.
It really felt as if product was king, with tech following closely.
Now it feels like it's more about MBA type managers that care much more about the bottom line than about the product and customer.
I think that Milton Friedman spiel about giving Shareholder value as the main objective of a manager, as opposed to giving value to customers, has done major damage to humanity, and the capitalist system.
