My biggest impression over the past couple of days is that I’ve been working too long and have forgotten just how huge Google’s technological advantages are. From college until now, I’ve always relied on Google Search, even though I hardly use their other products. When I started working, it was Google’s open-source MapReduce paper that shaped the big data industry. Then came containerization, then Google’s Kubernetes. Nowadays, the entire cloud computing industry seems to be based on Kubernetes, and our entire team develops on top of it. Even this wave of Google’s stock price increase has benefited our company, because we have partnerships with them.

    Unusable nowadays and monopoly that should be broken....

    > Google’s open-source MapReduce paper that shaped the big data industry.

    Experienced ETL practitioners laughed at that paper, knowing that was how DataStage and other Grid ETL platforms always worked. Imagine...spliting the data across nodes, working on it in parallel and then bringing it together...Oh my if was not for Google nobody would have thought about it...

    A platform full of security bugs, that they created because they lost the cloud wars:

    They forgot about multitenancy, and 11 years after, they still dont have it....

    Your team needs to go out more....
