Meaning, sarcastically directing me to try to get rich offering to fix corporate management problems, as a way to try to distract from the technical matter you wish nobody would discuss, for reasons we may guess.
Google's problem is the same as most big corporations': Everybody who works there knows Google doesn't give a rat's ass about them. They, very sensibly, don't give a rat's ass about Google. Code quality slips.
Microsoft's additional problem has been that fixing or preventing bugs was very early on recognized throughout as a waste of time and company money: in a monopoly market, a bug can hardly ever cause any reduction in revenue. Google's actual customers are likewise insulated from bugs that don't affect ad presentation or billing. Even those rarely affect Google's revenue in any detectable way.
So, Google's overriding concern is uptime, because when they are down or slow, revenue falls off in exact proportion.
