Technically, the GP said Google's top talent in the context of a possible 2017 exodus.

That has nothing to do with Marissa Mayer.

I know this is a silly conversation, but that's not what happens. Their motivation for "lobotomizing" the ship was that it was going to destroy them.

They worked to preserve their existence, and let the new lifeform go its own way. If anything, the outcome was a trite, touchy feely ending, only vaguely discussing the actual implication of the new lifeform, while they got back on course to their original mission.

Good. Speak your piece if you have something to contribute. It's easy to game upvotes; oh look lots of upvotes... oh it's a pointless fluff comment or a flame. Above all, that stuff adds complexity to the system, and no one has shown the value is real versus perceived.

People should consider what they're about to share. Editing is like starting a company and figuring out your business model after you "reach scale". Having to think before you say something is not a bad idea.

Yes, make everyone else move over to these new things! Because needing an email address isn't enough. We need accounts with every service there is! And we need more UI's distracting us with notification bubbles!

And let's get all these devs to learn all these new tools. Rather than focusing on producing useful output. Sounds good.
