Google’s Graveyard and Lack of Hunger with Cody Ogden

On this week’s episode of Screaming in the Cloud, Corey Quinn sits down with the incredible Cody Odgen, software developer and creator of Killed by Google. Corey and Cody discuss Google’s graveyard of products, how discontinuing offerings creates a feeling of distrust amongst your customers, and why Google lacks the hunger needed to create an amazing generative AI tool. Corey shares his take on killed products from an AWS perspective while Cody draws comparisons between late ’90s Microsoft and today’s Google, suggesting a decline in quality could be on the horizon for the cloud giant.
