Agreed - the article feels anecdotical. Or does JLP have insider knowledge on something deeper?
I can relate in London on how Google's culture obsesses with IQ, compared for instance to Apple who's more on the EQ side. Yet I don't see how this conflicts with a new search box that actually solves a problem with minimum risk (JLP himself mentions the problem is more on Amazon side for using the new feature).
Google doesn't offer a salary that would attract a top IQ in London as far as I am aware. That's the biggest problem with London - lack of strong and fair tech presence.
