Why? How do you see a distinction there?
- IG_Semmelweiss 6y agoNot parent but would assume that "google types" are more likely engineers first, with the assumption that those types are likely likely to have spatial / problem solvin awareness. Contrast Vs traditional traditional CEOs more likely to be hired on the basis of their network and charistma vs actual engineering chops?
- thu2111 6y agoWojcicki is not an engineer. Her background is marketing.
- quanto 6y agoEven if the Google types have better spatial/technical problem solving skills, how does that translate to self-awareness?
- resfirestar 6y agoSusan Wojcicki started out as a marketing manager, not an engineer. By contrast Mary Barra, the CEO of GM, started out as an assembly line worker and moved up through engineering positions into management. I think people have some pretty backwards assumptions about tech vs traditional industry.
- ARandomerDude 6y agoFord = internal combustion = bad people. Google = San Francisco = good people. It's just SV patting itself on the back for being woke and more virtuous than you.
- quanto 6y agoThe Hacker News crowd (mostly the Google types) endorsing the statement implying the Google types are somehow superior to the Ford types itself shows the lack of self-awareness for the Google types.
