Lee Kai-fu and Google's Chinese engineers are also people

This title seems to have been a curse, but it is not.

 
The reason why I came up with this title was due to a conversation with people in Google product pr not long ago. The other party asked if there were many negative effects on the feedback from Kai-fu Lee. I said it was obvious. I asked if there were any solutions, my answer is to pull Lee Kai-fu down from the altar. I remember that there was a famous book "Mao Zedong walking down the altar" which tells the common side of this great man.

 
This is also the case now. Through PR, Kai-fu Lee has always shaped himself into a person with excellent moral character, cultivation, and knowledge. Although he is not a great man, but for many students, this is an idol. This is no problem at Microsoft, because Microsoft has two clues: one is Microsoft, the other is Microsoft's research institute, and all the abusive words can be sent to Microsoft, as a paid research institute, Li Kaifu can be praised by the media. But now it is different. Google China only has one leader, Kai-fu Lee. When the two leaders were in charge, the media's dissatisfaction with Google could still be sent to another one who had left the company. Now it can only be sent to Kai-fu Lee. In this case, it is almost impossible to create a perfect person. In this case, we should not end up with a perfect idea to do things. Instead, we need to appear with a low-profile face. In some respects, we need to acknowledge our weaknesses and shortcomings. "Everyone has shortcomings", from "God" to "man ".

The same is true for Google's input method events. In fact, through contact with Google's input method developers, you will find that they are common software technicians and are as bad-spoken as other technical staff, like other programmers, they have a strong passion for their products. In addition, there are only three developers developing Google input methods.

However, Google is still making mistakes during the publicity process, and is still trying to make a fortune. It is still trying to widen the gap between Google technicians and common developers. For example, "we have always stressed that this is a product made in 20% of the time". Obviously, this is a product of the "God-building movement", because any product is only 20% of the time in the preliminary test phase, in the future, all the energy must be invested. When an ordinary person sees a cool man, there are two ways to respond: one is to feel inferior, but more is that when the other person encounters a problem, there will be two words in his mind, that's the last two words of the famous "let's drop down the reifeng Tower": deserve it!

Lee Kai-Fu may be a leader in some companies, but not perfect. Google engineers may be better than some engineers in other companies, but it is impossible to do anything without making mistakes. For this Google Input Method event, Google wants to reflect on itself, but it also hopes that everyone will treat Lee Kai-fu and Google engineers as people, so you don't have to worry about it.
