Conveniently leaving out the hundreds of times that Google has randomly terminated APIs or entire products with minimal if any forewarning, or reduced API functionality or pricing without forewarning, and the complete and utter lack of support [edit] Google provides to developers who don't already have their own twitter following.

I like the idea of Google Developer Supper.

It's almost as if Google is a massive organization running hundreds of initiatives spanning decades, making it difficult to simplify things with a single description.

And Microsoft is a feisty startup with a focused product line?

No, Microsoft is the same. My comment doesn't imply that Microsoft is somehow simpler than Google. The point is that the two people above me are disagreeing because they're over-simplifying these complex entities.

And yet one constant that connects all past Google projects: premature, without-warning shuttering of operations*

* not all operations, but enough for it to become a cliche

Did you really feel the need to criticize the poster, instead of the post? It's not just a meme, it's reality, and a result of how Google is run. People create new services to get promotions and then abandon them. With no recognition from maintenance, they wither and die, and are terminated. It is not inconceivable that GCP could suffer this fate too, judging from leaked communications.
