Yes, it's real, and yes, these are the kinds of things many investors, and most acquirers, will be thinking about. The ten question subset would consist of things like: are business fundamentals sound, and is there a growth plan? is th

I wonder if any of this is as a result of any of their big tech clients scaling back their TVC usage. Google, for example, has about 180,000 FTEs and another 180,000 TVCs. One might reasonably assume that, if an enterprise were to go on a

fwiw, I paid for a lifetime sub to eHD Weather (by Elecont) ... back in 2013 and still use it. Moreover, the dev still responds to emails within a couple hours. If I can get 10 years of use out of an app for $5, that's excellent valu

The problem honestly has nothing to do with SWE/PM incentives. The problem here, as noted, isn't going from 0->1. The problem is business strategy and leadership, and the ability for multiple stakeholders to rally around a xf

I suggest a large part of this is Google's longstanding strategy of outsourcing as much non-product, non-sales functions as possible to vendors. There's a strong disconnect, and also strongly antagonistic incentives, getting in t

I think it's more than using Groups in the prior way was really more of a hack than an appropriate, mature solution for that piece of IEM, and now GCP has a product that's fit for purpose. Fwiw, internally at Google, Groups is use

There are a couple of problems with this (not the least of which is market signaling that Google is not a place to reliably advance one's career, for anyone but the most junior staff). Clearly, it doesn't not make sense for everyo

Because as a whole, this industry can't actually determine what fair pricing is. There are too many perverse incentives concurrently in play for anyone to realistically make sense of things.

No. This is absolutely false. I don't think anyone who hasn't been inside of Google can possibly understand how "differently" (one might even say "Googley") dysfunctional it is.

It could be worse. If you were on Android, about half of Google's 1P apps start with "Google", and about half don't, even ones that probably should (like Google Home).

This wasn't that. This was a case of 1) over-hiring during covid, and 2) Google has expanded amoeba-like for the past decade (outside of Ads) and the result is that there are thousands of people, hundreds of projects and dozens of pro
