Agree with most of the sentiment in the thread. I guess Pichai asking people for input is nice and all, but what mission you're supposed to be on usually comes from the people who lead, it's not the job of developers or middle-management to decide the direction of a company. If you're asking people for a 'simplicity sprint' you'll have to declare where you're sprinting to first.
Zucc gets a lot of crap for the whole 'Metaverse' thing and it may very well be a terrible idea, but at least it's an idea.

- ugh123 4y agoInteresting. So you'd prefer all the "great ideas" to come from a select few in the C-suite?
- azinman2 4y agoI’d flip that statement. The c-suite should be world class product visionaries and executioners who lead with the great ideas.
- throwoutway 4y agoI think this is a sign that the leadership is "just now" realizing good ideas come from the bottom and has been listening to the wrong voices. But with freezing hiring, and constraining projects, expect more projects to get shut down and more will end up here: https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/
