You would change your opinion on my "choice words" if you decide to work at a trillion dollar company one day.
Trillion dollar company with probably <100K eng, spread over hundreds of products/features/etc, who also have to go through performance reviews and have to show impact.
So yes, my choice words are very intentional in this case.
leadership to prioritize their browser -> leadership to prioritize the most popular browsers. Yes.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 2y ago> leadership to prioritize their browser -> leadership to prioritize the most popular browsers This should be considered malice rather than incompetence. I believe that's what others are getting at.
- shadowgovt 2y agoUnless one is of the philosophy that Google is not required to support alternative browsers more than complying with (their best interpretation of) the standard, which is not a philosophically incoherent position. (On the other hand, perfectly reasonable to assert "If the rules say the market leader doesn't have to care about the welfare of others in the market, maybe those rules need to change").
- ajnin 2y agoIs 100k somehow a small number? How many of them are working on YouTube? To prioritize an issue and not another is a deliberate act, and YouTube has had problems in Firefox for years.
- pratnala 2y agoLess than 10k and all aren't engineers
- tehlike 2y ago> To prioritize an issue and not another is a deliberate act "sort by revenue", or "sort by users" is not as deliberate in my opinion. But sure.
- tehlike 2y agoGoogle has Android, Chrome OS, Youtube, Search, Search Ads, Display Ads, Drive and products, Cloud, etc... So divide by all, and each product has much less engs.
