Haha you're so right, I can't think of anything at all. *closes Chrome tab on my Android phone, opens another website hosted on Google Cloud Platform*

  >chrome Copy of Safari. >android Copy of iOS >GCP Copy of AWS. Cloning an existing product needed, at the absolute most, a staff of a hundred each. If you want to be wildly excessive, add 900 useless middle managers and developer relations people. Then what were the other 112,000 full time Google employees doing? What one hundred and twelve business critical new products were they engaged in? "Nothing"? Then why did they need to have college degrees?

    > Each one of those needed, at the absolute most, a staff of a hundred. Ah yes, this is why AWS is noted for employing only 100 engineers, and Apple employs 200 across its browser and OS divisions.

  You're already down all three, because Chrome was first released in 2008, and Android was also released in 2008, and GCP was apparently released in 2008 as well. Who knew?

    lol so true *taps terminal with a Pixel phone using Google Pay, uploads selfie to Google Photos, plans a trip in Google Flights and saves the itinerary in Google Drive*

      And to be fair with GCP, it's not like they released every single offering in 2008, at least I'd assume. Just like how AWS started with I think just a few things like S3 and EC2.
