Eric Schmidt killed what Google could become by making it the monster it is today. Essentially, he made it into Microsoft when it was on a trajectory to become a glorious Sun.


...but Sun went bankrupt and was acquired by Oracle. Not the best comparison.


Everything dies.

For decades, SUN Microsystems was a great place to work. From SUN came some amazing technology that still lives on(ZFS anyone?).

I prefer organisations like that over organisations that’s only purpose seems to be to extract wealth from the economy, to line the pockets of the few well connected.

Indeed, including code still in modern Linux distros.


That's better than what Google became


I too want Google to go bankrupt and be acquired by Oracle.
