Google has a reputation for being cliquey. I've also noticed a tendency toward trying very hard to make your coworkers look stupid rather than trying to look smart by actually accomplishing things.

I'm sure it depends on where you're working, but there seems to be a lot of that Marissa Mayer "excellence means putting other people down" attitude. And because of that, there is a lot of mediocre talent at Google despite its reputation.

I have no idea whether any of this has to do with Guido's decision, a lot of engineers like to change jobs for all sorts of reasons, sometimes for the sake of it, but I'd probably prefer Dropbox to Google as well.

Haha, brilliant!

And I find it rude to make sudden demands of strangers. Maybe we can agree to disagree.

No thanks, Andrew. I've already contributed enough and I really don't think I owe your company anything at all.

The reality is that people working on non-google projects keep leaving because the community is being shaped by some toxic personalities. We get hooked by the evangelism, buy the party line, build a proof of concept, become disgusted with the community, leave, and concurrently realize that C++ is the way forward.

This is the most blatant piece of self promotion, I can't believe Wired posted this.

Reading this is like someone arguing, the world is going mobile. Yea brilliant observation.
