- thrown_22 4y agoThe people getting fired are the ones who stopped engineers from doing this sort of thing. I remember in university you'd have job adds for google inside under the hood implementation details where only students/hackers would look. Those disappeared as quickly as pointy haired bosses showed up there.
- buildbot 4y agoI don't know if that will be true, unfortunately.
- PradeetPatel 4y agoI wonder if those type of ads attracts certain type of engineers, which were desirable during the rapid growth period of the company, only to become liabilities later on when they failed to adapt with the business's everchanging objectives and KPIs. Disclaimer: Not an engineer, but a people manager.
- thrown_22 4y agoNo idea. Google in 2005 used to attract the smart weird people. By 2015 everyone smart and weird I knew there was yelling from the rooftops to not work for them.
- gdw2 4y agoCan we get the timer back?
- gumby 4y agoThey don’t lack for developer bandwidth. They lack direction and any semblance of focus beyond protecting ad revenue.
