I wonder how much of killed-by-google is due to is 20 percent time. Allowing engineers to follow a passion project turns into a real product that doesn’t have full backing and support of the company.
similar to DHH as much as I am hurt by reader and all of their privacy BS that comes from ad based revenue I appreciate YouTube and them supporting all of the creators on it. Giving a platform for small creators the ability to sustain themselves and reach a larch audience without big coorporate rules.
