I think it's a mistake to call Google the most customer-hostile company to have ever existed. This would require them to even grasp the concept of what a customer is. I don't think anybody working there has every seen or met a customer in their life.

They are man-childs that during a lockdown can't even make a pot of coffee of their own, that work on "cool stuff".



I’m a software engineer at Google, working on Cloud Bigtable, which I personally think is pretty “cool stuff”.

I speak to different prospective and existing customers multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day, over chat, email, video conference and occasionally in-person (pre-pandemic).

I worked from home and made two pots of coffee today - one pour-over and one drip.
