Personally, it seems that during the past few years, Google has become so bloated and inefficient that innovation has slowed to a crawl.

It's to the point that they are now essentially just like Microsoft during the Steve Ballmer days. They need a visionary leader that can lead and inspire the hundreds of smart people they have.

Not to mention the fact how everyone always jokes about how long a product will last after being announced before they kill it off. Their strategy seems to be scattershot, rather than having a sense of direction. I'm curious to see how their internal roadmap looks like.



Inefficient and bloated? They are putting out a ton of stuff. Have YouTube TV and an excellent product but just one thing.

They appear to be doing an entirely new OS and UI. Flutter is pretty impressive tech.

Beyond Corp is pretty revolutionary and can see it being the norm.

But so many more. The TPU 3.0. Google Home Max is a great product as well as Google WiFi.

K8s is on fire and growing like crazy. They have cars driving around without a safety driver.

So many other things. What in the world are you talking about?

Did you mean some other company?


I am curious who has done more than Google in the last year?

Thanks in advance!
