Out of genuine curiosity, what keeps you at Google for 15 years despite perceived increase in complexity to getting things done? I'm wondering whether the answer is like "there's a lot of complexity, but I like the work I do more" or "I like the people more" or some other reason.

Heh, that's <<if>> they want to leave.

If they don't, they call it "comfy job with awesome paycheck and not a lot of pressure" :-p

You know, I've made similar remarks on HN before, but you are the first person to actually edit their comment. Amazing. Now I feel compelled to edit mine...
