I mean do you really need that stuff for this? I’m just gonna fetch it from a sandbox anyway.
Don’t mean to pick on you specifically, but this comment feels like a pretty good distillation of a certain mindset you often see in Googlers:
* we know better
* we judge everything against internal big-company standards
* we speak as if we’re setting the bar for “the industry”
Someone is openly pushing on a frontier, sharing rough experiments, and educating a huge number of people in the process — and the response is: “we can do better than this as an industry.”
Can you? When is Google launching something like this?
