I don’t even know where to begin with addressing this criticism. To say that you have a warped view of the situation is putting it mildly. I’m just going to back out of this conversation while the going is good.
- ddevault 6y agoAs far as I can tell it's a pretty frank and accurate observation of the social failings of your engineering process. Google is soulless and trains its engineers to be soulless. Just because it's a hard truth doesn't make it less true. The cognitive dissonance of Google employees online is unreal. You're in a cult.
- arp242 6y agoI'm not a Google engineer, and I mostly agree with the Google engineers. Guess I've joined my first cult! Can anyone tell me the secret handshake? Do I get a decoder ring? Less snarky: it's quite disrespectful simply dismiss an entire group of people as a "cult". You seem to spend significant effort engaging based on the affiliation of the person, rather than what they actually have to say.
