How can you say this? Yahoo! is a big company. Blaming their trouble on one thing seems to be absurd. One thing that comes to my mind is that when your company grows, you need business savvy and a good management team. These two are something not "hacker"-ish trait. Google seems to do quite well [Note: For A While] because they made good decisions. It has nothing to do at all with Sergey or Larry coding skill [Reference to your earlier statement that they seem to be a good founder because they're "hacker"]. Remember they almost sold their hit-single to Yahoo! for just about One Million Dollar. It has everything to do with time, luck, and their decisions.
