Google Innovation
- vote Is GOOGLE still innovative? Welcome to Friday chat.
- Is Google still innovating in 2022? I feel a decrease in the number of innovations in Google compared to 2012-2016. Back then Android was growing very fast, Google Cloud was on the rise, YouTube, Docs etc. Maybe it s just a feeling but has Google stopped creating innovative products and started to play it safe?
- vote Is Google done with growth and innovation? Every quarter I see number ads for YouTube videos going up. Like before videos, during videos and then after it. They seem to increase top and bottom line with that but how far can they go? Google hardware lineups are so mediocre and cloud is one generation behind. Waymo seems to be doing manual tes

- vote Is Amazon a bigger innovator than Google? Reading an old (2018) post by Steve Yegge, and seeing the growth Amazon keeps experiencing over the years, up to its skyrocketed stock price it has acquired after Covid, I think it really has become the winner among the big techs. Here's the post: https://medium.com/@steve.yegge/google-doesnt-neces
- Is Google lagging other FAANGM in innovation?

- vote Most innovation: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, Microsoft? Which of the big tech is the best if I want to work on new innovation as an engineer?
- vote Why Google and big companies have trouble innovating 1) Too many people on teams and when something is popular, resources are thrown at it having a negative effect 2) Unable to focus on small scopes and small sets of features 3) Forced to focus on scale vs fit from the start 4) Lack of quick decision making and central focus Agree? http://scoble

- Which companies are doing the most innovative infrastructure work besides Google and Facebook?

- vote Why apple needs Amazon PIP Amazon maintains its status as Earth's #1 employer and most innovative company in the universe today. Google, Microsoft, apple. These are now dinosaurs, consistently failing to innovate at all turns, lagging behind Amazon. How does Amazon maintain its success ? The great work ethic. The performanc
- Why google is shit Low pay Hostile to remote work Stupid low bar above new grad. For L4 they still don’t ask system design 🤣 New grads are mostly interns who lucked out on their coding questions. Senior engineers from outside are all shit due to low bar and bad pay. Hiring process is extremely slow Work culture
- vote Is research where all the fun is? Backend = distributed systems, boring. Research = cutting edge tech with tons of innovation. For ex. Google Brain, Deepmind, FAIR
- vote Which one is the next Microsoft? In terms of being outdated, less innovative and lower pay. #Apple #Google #meta #amazon
- Google is worse than Microsoft Both Microsoft and Google pay 💩 but at least Microsoft innovates. Google is a great example of what lazy rest and vest leetcoders can produce: nothing. Talk big but no results to be found. Even last in the cloud 😭
- What happened to Google? Google was a pioneer in so many cutting age technologies. Starting with web search, it came out with so many path breaking applications, like search, adsense, google maps, google earth, google classroom etc, and tech infrastructure like BigTable, mapReduce, S2 etc etc. Then seems like the pipeline i

- vote Meta is better than Google At least Meta is trying some innovation through AR/VR stuff and Metaverse. They are constantly reinventing themselves. What is Google doing? Just surviving off people‘s data and advertising. They just have a bunch of smart engineers who like to get low balled and down leveled. Google📉
- AWS VS Google Cloud and Azure Given that somebody don't mind the bad wlb and they are hyper motivated to work hard and climb the career ladder no matter what, tell me why that person should choose Google Cloud or Azure over AWS? AWS is miles ahead when it comes to cloud services and it is unlikely that either google or microsoft
- Rating of FAANGM in terms of Innovations This is personal opinion. - Google - Amazon - Microsoft ( teams is really great) - Facebook - Apple ( innovation died with Steve jobs) - Netflix
- vote Why does Blind hate Google? Everyday there's a new post about Google downleveling, losing their innovative edge, lowering their hiring bar to get butts in seats, etc. Why does Blind have such a negative outlook on Google? I don't really see that anywhere but here. Forgot the blind tax: YoE: 1.5 TC: 145k

- Which big tech companies truly grant time to work on side projects? Talking about e.g. the „20% Project“ from Google. A dedicated budget of 10-20% per week to spend on pet projects, either personal, for education or product innovation. Does Google still offer this across the board in 2022? Do others, like Atlassian? If it‘s not a flat percentage of time, how else

So, there's Facebook/Meta, Apple, Amazon and Google/Alphabet - all massive technology companies with multiple, diverse hardware and software products - who are also continually trying to innovate and create the next big technology "thing." Then there's Netflix, who creates a single product that the
