Isn't there a place for this kind of fetish? It doesn't need to be in today's Google (but maybe in 5 year old Google).
> Google can on the whole accomplish its revenue goals without being a meat grinder. So why be one?
I too hope Google can prove that this state can be maintained after certain quasi-monopolies it holds start to vanish...
- titanomachy 6y agoI agree that there's a place (probably not Google) for this attitude, and my impression is that this is the realization that the author eventually arrived at: he wouldn't change Google, or change his nature, so he had to leave. Even though his frustration was clear, the message that came through for me was not simply "Google is bad" but more "Google and I are too different to work together". A lot of what he dislikes about Google is true of any large company. Although, he was very critical of Googlers' entitlement in particular. This is a real issue, especially among those who have never worked elsewhere, but IME people are more self-aware about it than he implies.
