A few people including myself remarked how it sounded like Google now
And I noted that I don't think Google will "ever" slim down, because they're making money and Apple wasn't
i.e. there's not enough justification for a leadership shake-up. Twitter had more justification -- there were many CEO changes and the board wasn't happy with the leadership
- makeitdouble 4y agoI would see a world where the ad business gets seriously impaired and Google struggles enough to keep up with the enterprise market that they lose out to MS. In that fantasy world something like Salesforce could get bought by Google and they’d reshape the whole Google’s product tree to solely focus on enterprise money, and a landslide of redundant engineers would probably be let go.
