On: I think GCP is better than AWS (2020)

I remember losing an argument with my company (that I cofounded) about using Google's awesome recruiting app that was part of GSuite. I said I don't trust Google not to kill it if there are less than a billion users on it. Everyone, and I mean everyone else said, nah. They'd be crazy to kill it. It's part of GSuite. They offer that to businesses and it's too core of a suite for them to kill it.

One year later, Google Graveyard.

It's a shame because Google Hire worked really well. I don't understand the motivation.

THAT was the name, ty. Google Hire. Yes, it was an excellent product. Leadership at the top needs to understand the cost in reputation and change the culture. Large corps aren't good at changing culture.
