- j_baker 13y agoI don't see what the big deal is. I've never owned a server either. But as a Googler working on Google's cloud platform, I do like the positive press.

- jstanley 13y agoHe may as well "admit" he's never owned a horse-drawn carriage. He just exists in a time where there are better options available.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoI think the article's point is that their CTO doesn't have the required experience to do job. We could debate that back and forth; only time will tell based on further data leaks.
- byoung2 13y agoI'll bet that most Ferrari mechanics have never owned a Ferrari, but they are qualified to work on them. Ownership doesn't give you experience...time under the hood does. I have spun up thousands of servers on Rackspace, GoGrid, and Amazon, and I've learned a ton because of it. I don't need to own the physical hardware to get that experience. If he had owned a fully-managed box (where someone else sets it up and maintains it), would that make him more qualified? I think not

- felixgallo 13y agoif you own a smartphone, tablet, set top box, recent tv, smart watch, recent car, NAS drive, desktop, or laptop, you own a physical server.
