Can someone explain to me the Next Google metaphor? And is a raid a metaphor for a regular job in this case?

I'm also not that knowledgeable in MMORPG terms, but I do know things like "drops" and "PVP", and I can deduce other terms.

A raid in this sense is a start-up venture or any development job I guess. And the advice is to not try and develop the next Google because most attempts are unsuccessful. And that if you're capable of developing the next Google you should just spend your time doing something else because you wouldn't have to work very hard.
