Monorepos work in two cases: 1. Your codebase is relatively small, and the team working on it is pretty cohesive 2. You are Google or Facebook and can invest billions of dollars to build your own tooling and make it work Everything in between is a source of frustration and a money sink. You'll work slowly and endure great pain.

How google makes money

The best way to make money is not charging anything! True. There is a reverse logic to making money. Sometimes, it’s a matter of identifying which is your money machine. It lies hidden, more often than we think. Google is free. We all know. They don’t even have an advertisement on their front page—the best place for their advertising space. But, they make a whopping $7.8 from every internet user on the planet Earth. Because, they make it free. When Zerodha decided to go no-brokerage fee for investors, they knew investors were a minority customer base for them.When we say, when there is something free, you are the customer. It’s true.  But, this is the success of a business model. Or, precisely, the revenue model. When you’re struggling, it’s always important to look at your revenue models: the pros and cons. And, when you zero in on a marketing plan, bring the revenue model into the brief. This essential step can build a quite interesting pathway for a breakthrough. Most probably, the one you’ve been long waiting for. #customer #success #market #revenue #market #business

What an astouding story about the decline of #Google ! "This is the result of taking technology out of the hands of real builders and handing it to managers at a time when “management” is synonymous with “staying as far away from actual work as possible.” And when you’re a do-nothing looking to profit as much as possible, you only care about growth. You’re not a user, you’re a parasite, and it’s these parasites that have dominated and are draining the tech industry of its value." I feel were due for a crisis that will echo the banking. The #permanentGrowth #greedatallcost mentality has been a massive issue in almost all of our commercial ventures. There are some wonderful exceptions (Thank you bcorps and the likes!!), but as someone who's been through these scale up and scale down, there's very little human or of quality when this happens. You need people who care about the product. The results. The users. Yes, funds and ressources are essentials, but they should not be the main goal. I'm happy we seem to somewhat be opening up more socially about these issues, albeit still very sparringly for fear of being judged or categories too easily. If you have a differing opinion, I invite you to share it :) https://lnkd.in/epjYXArM Have an amazing day!

Today, let's talk about #redefiningproblems. Two months ago, I read a book called "Zero to One," which is about #buildingstartups. In that book, there's a mention of #Google. People called Google a #monopoly in the market because no one was able to #compete with Google in the search engine domain. This led Google to court, as America doesn’t want #companies to monopolize the market. When the case was presented in court, Google said, "We are not just a search engine company; we are a #techcompany. We also make cars and other technologies. When you look at the #globalmarket, we don’t even have a 2% share." And they got out of the legal battle. Smart move, right? I know, I know. Thiel emphasizes the importance of creating monopolies by #developing proprietary technology or offering #unique products or #services. Google’s dominance in the search engine market and its innovative approach to #products like Google Maps, Gmail, and Android exemplify these principles.

Google suggested me a combination of trains that would take 2 hours. Local knowledge offered an alternative that ended up being just 45 minutes. I was quite skeptic about what the station manager was telling me. What’s the chance he knew better than the all-seeing Google? That’s a very common pattern: we assign a value to what an algorithm reports differently from the one we give to human input. But algorithms have all sorts of interests at which we can’t even start glimpsing. Perhaps the subway company pays Google to lead more traffic to their network. Perhaps Google was using me as a Guinea pig to evaluate a route no one has taken in a long time. And we can keep going ad infinitum. Perhaps they have the wrong timetable, or incomplete information. Or a myriad other reasons I can’t even come up with. We live in a time when we leave algorithms to make decisions for us. They decide the best food we can get tonight, the path to take, the person we should date. And when they make decisions about us: whether we should be hired or promoted, offered a credit line or a discount. Entrepreneurs and technologists have a great deal of responsibility when creating new tools. Sadly, few acknowledge it.

Hi ! Everyone Success Story Of Google "Google's success story is a testament to innovation, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence.

Its relentless focus on innovation, user experience, and scalability has propelled it to unprecedented heights, making it a symbol of success and a beacon of inspiration for entrepreneurs and innovators worldwide." #Google #Larry Page #Sergey Brin For more details click on the Link given below 👇 👇 👇

Have been curious about the business model followed by our very own every day friend Google? In general we only see the successful/hero products of it. But aren't there anything where Google failed to achieve success? Also what is their algorithm? How in one moment do you think of pursuing something and right after that Google starts showing you the exact thing? How does Google target you to show the ads? All these interesting topics have been well analysed and discussed here.

There is something so freeing about not engaging anymore with any low value discussion. I am recognizing patterns in comments sections and am judging who I used to be. Case in point - someone said they have no idea why anyone would want to work for Google when they could work for a start up- I named 10 things including good pay, good equity, incredible household recognition, good benefits, and the chance to work for a successful company. Someone is up to 3 responses back ranting that Google is not a good company, they are a bad company and sending links to Googles failed products and that the stock price is not a reflection of their ability to be considered a good company. I should've made clear that I was not saying it's an ethical company, nor a morally good company, it's just a successful one - but this man has made it very clear he wants to engage and even said "he could do this all day" - nope, you win. Google is not a good company and this link with their failed products is clear cut evidence and I got to go back to eating raviolis. THE FREEDOM I TELL YOU!!!

𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀? Unfortunately, this is a VERY common problem. And it’s easily avoided. When you know how to tweak the algorithms “behind-the-scenes” in Google and Meta you have the perfect way to attract the perfect leads every. Single. Time. But it takes a lot of tweaking and expertise to get it right. A professional can manage the process, save you time and help you make a lot more cash.
