Regardless of what their understanding of Big O is, Google still needs a lot people to do CRUD work or make another mobile app, like any other company.
The issue seems to be hiring the highly educated and entitled to do boring but necessary work. GSUs can only motivate people so much.
- s1artibartfast 7y agoI think it is just an optimal solution for large companies with disposable income. A company I worked at hired smart engineer with a masters from Berkeley, and then tasked him with breaking down cardboard boxes and other mundane tasks. The fact that they were grossly overqualified for any of the tasks was a advantage because they were flexible, and reliably needed no oversight. If money isn't an object, why not get the best tools possible.
