It isn't my own product :) Thomas Kurian is a special kind of chaos.

But yeah, no clouds run themselves. Only GCP is a spectacular kind of mismanaged, since 2018 or so.

Anyhow, who cares! :D cheers @altdataseller

You have made a lot of bold statements. Do you have anything substantial to back up your statements?

How about personal experience working with TK and a bunch of friends working at Google on Cloud? You can look up the severe production outages GCP has suffered over the past years, if you care.

All big organizations are dysfunctional in their own way.

If you know better, I'm all ears! Not trying to discount the hard work of all those fantastic Google engineers. It's just, prod issues are prod issues, regardless of good intentions.

Toxic TK, otoh, he's selfish, self-aggrandizing, out of touch, and not very nice or cool at all. Everything he touches bears his mark.

If given a choice I'd take GCP's production outages over Azure's security vulnerabilities that show a complete and total lack of any care for anything resembling security in at least a few of their products.

It almost sounds like he used to be an Oracle exec.

I saw him posting certified enterprise nonsense the other day and it didn’t make me feel very good about it.

(for some reason I’m still following one of my college professors who’s since become a director at GCP somehow)
