Surprised they still have this page on their site:

> https://about.google/company-info/philosophy/

> 1. Focus on the user and all else will follow.

> 6. You can make money without doing evil.

Hah

> 6. You can make money without doing evil

implies that they're doing it for fun then I guess?

> You can make money without doing evil.

Neat! I rate this sentence at 7/10 on my scale of shit American companies say. The top score is currently held by Palantir with their X bio "Software that dominates."

Google only moves fast and breaks things that matter.

Their sunsetting of manifest v2 appears fast to me and updating some corporate philosophy has apparently no business impact.

See if you can raise it as an issue. There's clearly a grave errors on the page.

  • I was thinking to cynically ask a Googler I know to raise an internal ticket. The new page could be just:

      1. Stop asking pesky questions.
      2. Add Gemini buttons into everything.
      3. If problems, see 1.
