But Google has earned that rep. And they aren’t saying or doing much to change it.

Minimal vision, weak execution, MVP agile approach with strong emphasis on the "Minimally,* and no heart, soul, grit.

I know they’re a business, but sometimes, I think, if they could just be okay losing money for longer, they’d turn some of the projects into something good.

I really don’t like Zuck, but he’s willing to lose billions a year on things he believes in. Google doesn’t do that (much) now. AI and quantum computing are the only things that spring to mind.
