        Google was all about producing products people were excited about, from search that was useful to improving browsers and email and setting standards, they even started Let’s Encrypt which makes the web safer every day. They’ve contributed so much positive technology, and they were eager to try new things that inspired alternatives even as Google killed their own implementation.

        It wasn’t just the fun perks at the office, googlers used to be excited about the work they do. Now they get fired for expressing concern about producing products for Nazis.
