No, we’re quite aware the world outside has been catching up. There’s even a famous doc by a senior director about it…

The system still grooms Googlers to think they're better than though. Until that root cause would be fixed (which would have to be at a huge cost to Google, so no surprise it'd never be), nothing would change.

In Google Cloud at least, we're quite aware we're not the market leader, so there's a pervasive humbleness. We're proud of certain technical achievements (ie: Spanner), but the world can catch up quickly (ie: CockroachDB, Foundation, CosmosDB, etc). This might be a departure from the feeling in older divisions of the company, haha.
