Slashdot Mirror
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."
As you surely enjoy sucking gougle dicks, would you mind shutting the fuck up while performing ?
You're just embarassing yourself, g-fan boy !
Smile, don't click...
I work for Google, so I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.
But trust me... You don't.
I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around. If you don't know about the topic... Don't make yourself sound like you do.
There's no such thing as a software engineer, that's just a politically correct that keyboard jockeys call themselves so they feel more important.
I suppose a binman could call himself a sanitation engineer as well.
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!"
Hello pot, I'm kettle.
The fact that this ignorant racist troll got modded "Interesting" is an indication of the level of white supremacist denial-based hypno-propaganda present in slashdot today.
"Western culture may not be perfect, but one real advantage it has over traditional subcontinental culture is that it has dispensed with this particular anachronism"
Yes, and replaced it with ideologies of race-war and discrimination based on skin-color and religion. Like here:

Not to mention the fact that Indians in the intellectual classes, at least, generally don't subscribe to caste notions, but Gentile Europeans and Americans in the intellectual classes do so all the time. Using pseodo-scolarship to advance racist agendas, such as here:

A particularly relevant example is David Duke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duke). A Klansman whom the Americans have elected into office.
After all this, they make fun of a system that they clain is beyond their comprehension, but use themselves on a daily basis in their societies.
Are Americans born hypocrites or do they have to study?
"You are born into your caste. All your descendants will be of the same caste"
Again, you might want to read a bit before jumping to such false generalizations (unless you already know that this is false and are using a deliberate campaign of disinformation to advance a racist agenda, which is more likely since you, obviously, are a racist).
It is possible to change a person's caste if he or she has demonstrated the ability to engage in the activities for which a particular caste is suited. There is ample precedent for thi, such as the first Maratha Emperor Chhatrapati Shivaji Bhonsle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shivaji) who wasn't born a Ksatriya, but was elevated to that caste because of his accomplishments and obtaining freedom for the Maratha people from the clutches of radical Islamic oppression.
Within a particular caste (varna), clans (jaat) have constantly been in a state of flux. The jaats have a fine structure of priviledges that keep changing from generation to generation in order to accomodate for changing economies and political climate. This is unlike the dogmatic narrow feudal systems of Europe, where Catholics and Protestants are constantly at each other's throats and only unite under one religious flag when it comes to pogroms against Jews.
The defamation of Indian society is nothing new. White powers have been doing it since the middle of the 19th century. The post above is merely a crude descendant of the mendacious lies spread by the British Defamers like Rudyard Kipling and German proto- Nazis like Max Mueller and Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
