FAANG employees sure are full of themselves considering they've worked at companies that have failed to innovate for two decades. What was the last successful product that Google launched with all their highly paid engineers?
- sebzim4500 3y agoEngineers at Google aren't supposed to be designing new products, they ostensibly have separate people for that.
- ilyt 3y agoThey are doing shit job with keeping existing ones competitive too
- Gunnerhead 3y agoYou’re thinking PMs rather than engineers.
- joshuamorton 3y agoI always see this and it always rubs me the wrong way. You're presuming that the only form of innovation is an entirely new consumer product. But keep in mind that Google regularly launches new products and features that are more profitable than many startups, and then shutters them, and regularly launches individual features or pieces of infra that are industry leading (or defining, as in the case of k8s). They just aren't new consumer products.
- scarface_74 3y agoWhere are these “profitable” new features?
- fragmede 3y agoit's not a product, but that transformers paper that came out of there is proving to be pretty, er, transformative
- TechBro8615 3y agoNot for Google, though...
