It usually means you care enough to go out and contribute because you actually enjoy it. If that isn't you, maybe think about getting a job as an insurance actuary.
Skill is simply developed talent. The question is: which is worth more: mediocre talent, well developed, or great talent, indifferently developed? Tough choice that, I'd tend to take a pass on both.
Great talent better be coupled with great motivation or the result will be just be yet another great talent waiting on tables.
On great. Smug/patronizing/arrogant with a Google beany on. Certain to win a lot of friends.
Also, Googlers astromodding... just don't do it, it achieves the opposite of the effect you intend.
I feel like I got something on me, getting into a thread with Googlers in it. Watch that kids, the effect won't be what you hope. Sad thing, this is a company I used to admire.
So you are quibbling about the difference between "should not" and "must not"? Try this: run a server on your Google fiber and see if you find out what Google really means by "should not".
Google only has one real asset: trust. If it doesn't maintain the trust of its users, many of those who happily shared their privatemost search terms will defect at the first opportunity. Google was cognisant of this at one time. Looks like they forgot somewhere along the line.
Google lost this nerd's mindshare some time ago. Mind you, I'd still take Google over Apple or (heavens) Microsoft, but that does not mean I respect them, love them or even care about their long term good fortune any more... just so long as Apple and Microsoft stay defeated. It's an "enemy of my enemy" thing. Sad. I used to respect Google before they betrayed that trust, repeatedly.
The story here, as usual, is that Apple is no better than anybody else. And everybody seems to know this except you.
Next step is to realize that Apple is actually worse than the others. Ever heard of the Apple Police?. Make no mistake about it, Apple didn't fire him because he did wrong, Apple fired him because he got caught.
Then there are the lockdowns. A company accustomed to abusing its own employees obviously does not bat an eye at having a contractor abuse their own.
You're forgetting the infrastructure to support it. Wifi in classrooms, provisioning system. School App Store. Insurance policy. Training for teachers. Licensing for content.
Bonuses for salesmen. Payola for school board. Hush money for regulators. Champagne for Apple execs.
Make as good a product as they can, and let profit follow.
So why does Apple keep making those clunky, unpowered handsets with tiny screens? Good enough strategy when there was no other high end smart phone worthy of the name, but that was then.

You mean, develop whatever talent you have.

Choose a career for which talent is not a prerequisite.
If you don't have talent by your age you better consider plan B.

Re Git: the question is not whether you know it but whether you have actually used it, which generally marks you as someone companies want to hire.
Hard work usually wins the day.
Hard work by a dullard is only effective for dull tasks.
the fact that the U.S. has become the kind of country to seek asylum from is staggeringly insane
Not as insane as the fact that the U.S. executive is determined to prevent sovereign nations from providing asylum.

I believe that when Google was young, as a whole it really did believe in ideals such as "Don't be evil"
Once they started hiring Microsoft retreads they were done for. And Larry always was a little kinky. Never mind Eric...
Damn, you smug, self righteous Googlers are just turning into Microsofties. Look at yourselves.
Our three real assets are trust, loyalty, and ruthless efficiency...
Ruthless efficiency... you haven't been inside the Googleplex lately, have you?

Didn't read the report, but...
Good because if you did you would realize how fucking ignorant the rest of your post was.
Some Apple dude modded it up.
Some Apple dude modded that down. Sucks to be you.

Apple is a well-known and envied brand
Isn't it interesting how evildoers such as Microsoft and Apple love to play the "envy" card? Sorry, what you may mistake for envy is actually disgust.
