Google 's latest layoffs on the Google Chrome team really hits hard. They are letting go of people that desperately want to keep the web open. You can hate on Google on you want (I'm actually with you!) but the people on the Chrome team were amazing and only wanted what was best for the web. This was so incredibly short sighted and stupid (and ultimately counterproductive). This isn't the company I joined in 2005, it's not even close.
