Why would Sundar or Google benefit from this?

• willio58 6y ago
  Google as a company seems evil to me pretty much every dev I've worked with. Taking Jack from Twitter as an example, if the leader of the company is not evil, the company seems less evil.

  Engaging with their future talent pool? When communities like HN and other tech hubs start thinking adversarially about your company, it has major consequences. People in the talent pool aren't stupid - they're trading off their time for a salary, but also trading the opportunity cost. Given a choice between Google and say... Stripe - where would you work?

    As long as Google keeps the salaries up there won't be a lack of people wanting to work there.

    You'd be surprised where 99% of HN would work regardless of their comment history. Google has no shortage of smart people coming in. And not that HN is some elite bunch of "10x rockstars". Most efficient workers probably don't have time for the nonsense here.
