I mean their defense is ridiculous on its face. "It's our smart enployees" half of which either now work at those competitors or were poached from those competitors. And if we talk about Google's extreme institutional incompetence across its entire portfolio...
Fifteen years ago the claim Google employees are uniquely smart might've held to even minimal scrutiny but not today.
- dpe82 3y agoGoogle absolutely does have some very smart employees, and their research org does amazing work. But as they've grown headcount they've certainly regressed toward the mean.
- ocdtrekkie 3y agoSure, Google has some very smart employees, but so does Microsoft, who "can't compete". The reason why is the defaults and the data volume. What Google wants you to believe in this claim is that Google employees are smarter than their competitors' employees, and that is absurd.
