AI Insights:
Google is where brilliant engineers go to overthink problems for months before shipping something that could have been built in weeks, all while enjoying free gourmet meals and debating whether their latest config change constitutes "innovation." The company has evolved from a scrappy startup into a committee-driven bureaucracy where decisions require more alignment meetings than NASA mission launches. It's the corporate equivalent of a luxury cruise ship - incredibly comfortable, well-appointed, and moving at the speed of continental drift. You'll never work harder to do less, but at least the stock refreshers are real.
