The magic of Google is that tearing to shreds, even when founders are shredding, doesn’t often mean outright project cancellation.
Sometimes ideas can’t be redeemed, and sometimes good ideas don’t make it because their originators simply give up. But there is (or at least was) a path to launch for folks with stamina and conviction. To me, this is a much more interesting and powerful story than those being told (over and over again) in these puff pieces.
