Google Employee Accidentally Shares Rant About Google+

First time accepted submitter quantumplacet writes "Longtime Googler Steve Yegge posted an insightful rant on his Google+ page about how Google is failing to make platforms of its products. He also shares some interesting little tidbits about his six year stint at Amazon working for the 'Dread Pirate Bezos'. The rant was intended to be shared only with his Google coworkers, but was accidentally made public. Steve has since removed it from his page, but it has been reposted elsewhere."

Period inside the quote. "Grammar" capitalized, as it is a part of your proper noun. "Own" is arguably redundant, since you start with "your."

You're welcome.

Hey, you work at Google. Nobody has your perks or extras, guy.

I'm not your guy, buddy.

What I found most striking about his post is that I am apparently a fucking genius, because I have never had any trouble at all using Amazon's web site.
