Sergey’s return to an active role at Google strikes me as a bittersweet omen. Sweet in the sense that he’s returning to form for the first time in a while. He’s rekindling a connection so important to the early success of Google that I think it puts a lot of hope into people’s eyes. Bitter in the sense that it feels like a parent moving in with their child who is now fully grown and just experienced a nasty divorce. The former paragraph reeks of romanticism in the rhetorical sense. A chef has no legacy if his good cooking dies with then. Why should they suddenly step in now? Why have Sundar around if you don’t trust him with the most important part of your company? Perhaps I’m oversimplifying.
