If I cared that much about a project that I'd fight bureaucracy and stupid paperwork to make it happen and work overtime and push myself like crazy... why would I give it to Google?

For the decade I was there, I couldn't honestly think of something I'd want to put that kind of effort into so that some human-dialtone like Sundar could cancel it later, or some pushier and better organized person could take credit for it.

But I have certainly thought of them after I left.
