I left Google 10 years ago because it was boring. Any interesting things it does is restricted to an elite cabal. It's horribly conservative with programming innovation for a company its size. Its main reason to hire is to deny talented programmers to its competitors.

Maybe they think that they don't really have competitors at this point, or rather, no competitors that can meaningfully reduce the market share in key areas, or competitors that are in a position to hire the laid off employees.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoYeah, pretty much. I think Meta was more or less on record saying this back in the early 2010's. I think by the late 2010's they stopped doing this because they are well established in the market now.
