In what ways are the latest generation of Chinese tech companies different from established counterparts?
- hunvreus 14y agoI'm not sure I have an accurate answer to this but let me try. I feel like the younger companies have developed more aggressive engineering cultures. Tudou, Dianping, Douban seem to embrace more their technical side, when Baidu for example has more of a business and sales spin to it. In particular, I've noticed this difference through; - The involvement of these newer companies in OSS, tech event s... - The reaction of local geeks towards these companies: you'll find a lot of young Chinese programmers who think Taobao is a pretty awesome company when it comes to tech, Baidu not so much (I think most of them refer to it as a sales company...).
