What Google heard is: buy discord, glue it into everything and then shut it all down after 2 years.

What Google heard is: buy discord, glue it into everything and then shut it all down after 2 years.
- xapata 6y agoI'm imagining a meeting a few years back, at Google: "Ok, you know our motto, 'Don't be Evil.'?" Heads nod. "What if ... what if ... what if we simplify that?" "How so?" "Just cut off the first word, 'Be Evil.' Simple, elegant." "I like it!" ---- Jokes aside, I think Google does a pretty good job of keeping the major products steady. Our little cohort on HN isn't a great sample for determining what "major" is.

- gertlex 6y agoSeems to me that either "Hangouts" (or whatever it's been most recently renamed to) is "major," and so many might argue it proves you false regarding "steady," OR it's not major, and discord would thus not be major and likewise not be kept "steady".
- xapata 6y agoThat's a fair assessment.
