This naming is ridiculous. Did they hire a bunch of Microsoft people ?

Google naming products at this point is just memes. But it proves that if you have an amazing enough product (G suite) the name doesn’t matter at all. Whoever came up with G suite is just a bad person though ugh.

I'm all against rigid company culture, but google naming needs to be improved. Variables are consistently named better at google than the products they are written for.

The naming doesn't even need to be improved, they just need to stop with the renaming. GSuite is an awful name, but i know what it means at this point as long as they don't sometimes call it "Google Cloud" instead.

G Suite has been called in the past "Google for Work", "Google Enterprise", "Google Business", "Google Apps", "Google Apps for Business", "Google Apps for Work", and I probably forget some more. It's really insane.

Hey it's one of the two hard things, right? Alongside cache invalidation and off by one errors.

They probably had a meeting about it, using either Hangouts, Hangouts Meet, Hangouts Chat, Duo, or Allo...

Looks like they have an influx of the MBA and ex Microsoft types. Sad!

What's the new Google these days?

Answer: yes. Many former MS folks now in Google. What do you think inspired the Ballmer chair throwing incident ?
