I’ve seen (while working at Google) that on paper they seemed to have lots of “education” and in meetings the ones in management were overly confident and talked the talk but in 1:1 rarely did they know anything that wasn’t in a book, jargon or memorized. Rarely did they think up their own ideas or challenged the status quo. My manager was from India. He told me to make my solutions look more complicated and more lines of code to “make it on his team”. Engineers I found amazing, but once they decide to go the management path stay away, they would step over and on anyone, claim ownership for others ideas. not in a productive, supportive, work hard way, but a calculating negative way.
Been doing this a long time, and every culture has differences but only with Indians in management from India did I feel I had to watch my back. Nepotism was so obvious I’m shocked it isn’t researched more. Maybe something with that ridiculously stupid and inhuman caste system.

We’ve gotten to a place where Ads have become the backbone of the Web. Google says it’s mission is to make the worlds content organized and useable. That isn’t quite true. It’s to monetize the organization of that content.
They claim ads “keep the internet free”. “Free” from paying sure, but free from questionable untruthful ads, con artists Ads, and Horrible content that is monetized by ads that shouldn’t be?
Google will say those are “hard computer science” problems they are tackling. The reality is they tackle the problem as long as it doesn’t impact revenue and put just enough resources on it to make it look like they care. Or retroactively share data and say they are ahead of the problem (like YouTube CEO on 60 minutes).
How a trillion dollar company of the Self proclaimed worlds Smartest people don’t know a pedophile ring is using YouTube kids comments Section is reckless. Why google even needs to monetize Kids content is pure greed. Do kids really want to see an Ad or benefit from it? Maybe to burn into their habits that “Ads are just part of life”
Life With Google in charge of the worlds Information.
