Really not helping the condescending Googler stereotype there bud. Or perhaps its OK for you to be this way as a tech "elite" that makes $450k a year.

I don't see any condescending language in that comment. But with my disclosure, you will be quick to say, of course I can't. Not sure where the "elite" or "450k/year" is coming from as well in the parent comment. Perhaps give that comment another chance to see what they are actually saying? Disc: Googler.

  Calling it a boring meme is condescending. It's dismissing people's concerns as a joke they made up for attention, rather than addressing and refuting their actual argument.

    Linking to killedbygoogle.com where more than half of things are not actually kiled by Google is not a good argument. I agree that products getting killed by Google is a concern and a few comment accurately point out and add to discussions while most of the others just keep repeating like a meme. Very rarely the discussion feels like a discussion. OP brought up another point about Google being a 20 year old company so you are ought to see lot of products being shut down over the time. While the reply had nothing to do with that but instead resorted to ad hominem attack.

      Oh no they used an ad hominem so you responded with an irrelevant whataboutism.

        Fair enough, removing that.

  PHD graduate after a few years will easily make $450k. I’m sure OP does. Unlike me, he has absurd wealth. I’m lucky if I hit $200k after 3 years tenure at Amazon.

    Can confirm that I don’t.

      Well, nonetheless, the amount of privilege you wield is astronomical compared to me, and it's clear that you believe you're superior to me in every way. Unfortunately, you're probably right because I can't pass a top-tier tech interview.
