Moving from an engineering/technology company to a marketing/product company. It needs to happen, or your companu becomes schizophrenic (like Google has been). But doing so without killing the technology culture is hard (I can't think of any successes changing this late off the top of my head). I hope he succeeds.
I do like Page's focus on "sit down and work it out in person". So much time wasted trying to do that over email.
- mahyarm 15y agoApple somewhat with the transplant of objective-c and next step into apple?
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoI thought about Apple, but I'm not sure it fits. The company Apple is today is the company that Jobs kept trying to build for 40 years. Proportional fonts and rounded buttons are the result of products, not technologies. Had he had a weaker personality and Woz a more assertive personality, then I think Apple would have needed to make that shift.
- philwelch 15y agoWell, I think the transition from the Apple II to the Mac was a little like that.
