Is there a reason to emulate google if your company is not trying to become an adtech behemoth? Google just sells ads, and has not originated a successful product besides search. They have an endless stream of failed pursuits, and so this could be a guidebook on inefficiency and exploratory tangents that don't produce value. That's why they laid off 12,000 employees since this guide was written. If anything, companies should try to follow Apple's workflow, which hasn't had layoffs and has a track record of elegant software that produces value in new areas.
- salil999 3y agoWhat a narrow minded view. This post and book has nothing to do with the product side of Google. You can argue about their products failing to gain traction in the market. But it's clear that Google is a leader in the software engineering industry. They have launched tons of tools and paradigms which has changed the way the entire software engineering industry works.
