   Wow. Jeff and Sanjay both departing. Truly end of a golden era.

   There is an entire cohort of work-optional very senior engineers for whom one of the last reasons for hanging on was "at least Jeff and Sanjay are around".

      Google will be considered "the new IBM" in 20 years.

         People have been saying that for over a decade now, and their business is still going.

         They have plenty of great tech for consumers right now: Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Chrome, Android,..

         You can perhaps argue that search might suffer because of AI but they've done a great job scaling horizontally into many verticals.

         I don't think Google is going anywhere.

         Who knows what will happen in 20 years. Right now, it's not the case.
