You're missing the point. But that's OK.

Do you know how many people apply to Google ? There are clearly many many millions who would be happy to work here. Including many in this thread who claim to say otherwise.

Are you deliberately missing the point?

The point is that in this world of billions, there are enough who will like the way Google works to imply that Google is NOT doing anything special.

What a stupid point. Then there must be no special things in the world. Because if something truly is special, more people will like it. When it becomes popular enough you'd say "Oh it's just a numbers game". What a specious argument.

Don't get mad because it adequately explains the truth.

It's an asinine argument because it undermines any great thing in the world even when it may be great objectively.

Keep in mind we're talking about a company's culture. It's completely plausible that what I'm saying is a better explanation than it being "objectively great".

HN will never admit to Google being great at anything. Keep coming up with "plausible" theories.

Do you have a bubble you're in by any chance ? Or hate Google because you didn't get in or don't like algo interviews ? Because many people on HN have openly said so.

FWIW, I "got in" to GOOG, MSFT and AMZN. Didn't take any of them.

Sounds like you're deep in the GOOG machinery. Good luck to you bro.

Yes didn't take offers and clearly grapes our sour. Best of luck at your edgy startup.
