An insightful post from a former Google engineer about Google+
The most interesting thing to me about this post isn’t the comparison of Google+ and Facebook nor the thoughts about Circles. It’s his comments about Google culture:
I was also growing increasingly frustrated at Google’s sluggish engineering culture. I have previously described how the toolchain is not well-suited to fast, iterative development and rapid innovation.
And…
Facebook has a hacker culture, they’re only a handful of engineers, and they develop with quick, adaptable tools like PHP. Especially when compared with the slow moving mammoths we were using at Google.
I guess the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
