I don't understand how an enterprise as big as google doesn't have the energy to simply eat through time and money until it succeeds.
Even if the share has to be divided forever between 3 major cloud providers, it would eventually pay off.
- kresten 7y ago>> simply eat through time and money until it succeeds. That was Microsoft’s Bing versus Google strategy. Money can’t necessarily buy market dominance, even vast quantities of money.
- scarmig 7y agoDidn't Bing end up profitable?
- derefr 7y agoTime and money aren't Google's scarce resources. Engineers are. Every Google project would love nothing more than to steal other Google project's staffing for themselves.
- chupa-chups 7y agoI guess google values intelligent people, and since intelligence involves - thinking outside the box - considering consequences - estimating impacts of 2nd and 3rd order this should lead to the realization this may not be a good idea: why didn't the managers (which quite probably have been engineers before becoming managers) consider that?
