To play devil's advocate, in the case of a company like Google, it's unclear whether or not execution actually gets much slower. From what I hear the amount of people coasting or even distracting teammates with negativity is pretty high, cutting such people might even speed up execution in the net.
As for Fuchsia as a product I'm not really sure what exactly it is so if possible I'd love a 411 from any HNers with know-how.

- patwolf 4y agoAnyone remember GOOG-411? During the days before smart phones, you'd call a phone number and do a Google search via voice. My favorite part was that the sound it made while waiting for the results was a human making robotic beep-boop sounds.
