Shaggar posted:i dont think ive ever met anyone who works for goog even on these forums. i think it probably breaks down to experts who work on their advertising platform and dont really care about anything else cause they know ads are the money maker and then dumb fucker web "developers" who got hired out of college and dont know any better cause they're children. there is at least one of the former here, and i'm pretty sure they make over seven figures at it, so i wonder if someone like that has to fully drink the flavor-aid to get to that level.

The xbox is probably the only thing ballmer got right, and he had no problem dumping a billion dollars when it was needed.

Shaggar posted:the kind of person who chooses gcp and/or goog apps is the dumbest on earth and its probably the biggest red flag (outside of maybe ruby) when interviewing. the one time i worked on an appengine project it was a startup that decided to rewrite their working dotnet thing into python+coffeescript+backbone on appengine (this was at the tail end of the time period where coffeescript and backbone were cool before react came along). there's stiff competition for which part of that terrible decision was the worst, but i do lean towards picking appengine

my impression of Google employees from the ones I’ve met is that there are two types, as mentioned, but the split is 1) college grad who went directly to Google, and 2) someone who worked at a normal job before. the first ones have been told that they’re geniuses because Google only hires geniuses, and they believe it. they literally think anything Google does is smarter then anything any other company can do. they don’t really see the failures as meaning anything because they’re told that they need to launch hits or kill them fast, and think this is just how it’s done. they never think about customers or users because the whole company doesn’t care about them, they only care about metrics of product success. the idea that they can burn a customer who relied on something and then that customer will not trust them again doesn’t make sense to them. google is the best, everyone loves it, nobody thinks bad things about Google. the second group are aware of the absurdity of it all. some of them can assimilate and just go along, keeping quiet around the naive googlers. others reject it and bail out soon.

Sagebrush posted:does google even know that their public image is of a bunch of flaky, easily distracted children? that the idea of google "support," in any sense of the word, is a running joke? pretty sure they do, you can kind of tell by the fact that they are pretending that stadia isn't actually cancelled in the saddest way possible.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:otoh googles own icon design language is just about as easy to differentiate between with or without color. i think the icons are easier to differentiate as outlines. the colour ones don't have any real distinctiveness, so losing the colour isn't an issue, but they've made the outlines somewhat clearer so they're easier to distinguish at a glance they're mostly logos for the services though, so they're useless unless you already know what those services are anyway
