The Google Caste System

managedcode writes "Google doesn't like to do things traditionally. Right from their IPO, when they dumped Goldman Sachs for secretly trying to deal with their big investor, Kleiner Perkins. Business Week covers the Google Caste System, 'in which business types are second-class citizens to Google's valued code jockeys [..] They deem the corporate development team as underpowered in the company, with engineers and product managers tending to carry more clout than salesmen and dealmakers.' At last a company is shouting at the top of it's voice, engineers make the world."

Wait, you read Slashdot frequently enough to get a well-moderated "first post" on an article, but you think poorly of *everyone* who reads Slashdot? That's like writing some obfuscated C which you'll run though your own compiler to generate bytecode for an obscure microprocessor which drives a large graphical display with the text "you are all nerds!"

The parent uses the phrase "New York bankers," a common reference to Jews among anti-semites (as well as "Jew York"). Please mod down for ignorance.
