it deeply saddens me that there will be 15 year olds this year who have only ever known skyrim or gta 5 or fortnite, the executive incompetence that ruined the last 15 years of game development cannot be understated

모스크바 다녀오면서 비행기 옆좌석에 앉은 러시아 청년과 말을 텄다가 연락을 주고받고 있는데 그에게 인상 깊은 이야기를 들었다. 러시아에는 정치범들에게 편지를 쓰는 활동이 있다고 한다. 전쟁 후로 러시아에서 수많은 사람이 정치범으로 체포되어 길게는 20년까지도 수형 생활을 하는데,

Вы сейчас упадете от этой истории.

Аналитик Тихановской Алина Харисова (писала ей стратегии) получила звонок. Ей представились СБУ и попросили сливать инфу, проще говоря завербовали.
Год она сливала инфу… а потом оказалось, что это было КГБ Беларуси…

Какая оппозиция, такие и аналитики. И такие же их умственные способности. О преданности вообще молчу.

Хотя ей было 70

Как отличить воннаби-разработчика от реального разработчика? Воннаби-разработчик вместо игры анонсирует команду, название студии, логотип, крутое название игры, движок, но не демку или что-то непосредственно по игре. Это такая игра в геймдев. Обычно проходится в школе где-то.

The man who wrote "Don't be evil" said he chose it specifically so it would be hard to remove.

Paul Buchheit, the engineer who later built Gmail, suggested the phrase at a Google corporate values meeting on July 19, 2001. About a dozen early employees were in the room, working through what their core values should be. The conversation had stalled on the kind of polite corporate statements that nobody disagrees with and nobody remembers.

Buchheit later explained why he picked those three words instead. He wanted something that, once you put it in there, would be hard to take out. He framed it as a jab at competitors who he felt were already exploiting their users.

Amit Patel, another engineer from the same meeting, scribbled the phrase on whiteboards across the company for months until it stuck. It went into the founding letter of the 2004 IPO prospectus. It sat at the top of the corporate code of conduct for seventeen years.

Then in 2018, Google quietly removed it from the preface.

The timing is the part everyone forgets. In March of that year, internal documents leaked showing that Google had signed a Pentagon contract called Project Maven, building AI to analyze drone footage. By April, over 3,000 Google employees had signed a letter to Sundar Pichai demanding the contract be cancelled.

The letter specifically cited "Don't be evil" as the standard the company was failing to meet. Dozens of engineers resigned in protest.

Sometime between late April and early May, the slogan disappeared from the code of conduct's preface. A Gizmodo reporter caught it by comparing Wayback Machine snapshots. Google never announced the removal.

What I find clarifying about the sequence is what it means structurally. The motto was designed in 2001 by an engineer who wanted a sentence his bosses could not erase if the company drifted. Seventeen years later, with the company being publicly accused of building drone targeting AI, his own employer responded by quietly erasing the sentence.

He had been right about exactly one thing. The phrase was hard to take out. It took a Pentagon scandal to do it.

Buchheit, who left Google in 2006, is now a partner at Y Combinator. He has not commented publicly on the removal.
