What google really needs is to make products that make money and the re-organization need to be based around that, employee compensations and incentive should be based around how much money they make for google.
for example, unless its clear how much money the go lang will save for google, they should kill the project and just use C++ or Haskell or whatever!
which I think is bad for anyone who wanted to invest in Qt, we all want to develop for platform of the future not the past
learning to program is deceptively hard.
First you think it hard,
then you think its not,
then you think its hard,
then you think its not,
...I tend to believe that most people who are coders, developer and into FOSS, tend to buy very little software and only pay for the absolute necessary
This is not a bad thing, software is our thing, so we just won't pay for anything
But I've seen people pay for less trivial stuff, like items on a facebook game.
So probably we won't, but that never will mean, that millions of web browsers won't! I can almost bet that if you sell an extension that claims to make chrome more secure, enough people will buy it to make you happy!
this is good magic

Where did all those pages go?
One should really wonder, why did he skip on Python, Perl and Ruby for all those years? Knowing that RoR appeared in 2004, and thinking that Coffeescript seems closer to Python
And if I click the table row, it can expand to the long descriptions and cover shot you added to each book. What first at attracts me to a book is the title, author and how recent it is!
And most people don't, does one really need to be that advanced to appreciate Perl? I hope not
and when gmail first came and was invite only, it made me resent google even more, they felt snobish!
a long time later i started to like them and ironically, its gmail quality that made me a believer in google
google make most of their money from ads, only time will show how long will they go, not that it matters much, because i believe you dont have to be successful for ever, becoming no 10 after you were no 1 for 20 or so years is ....
well, we can talk about it, but they lived it!
