MySpace Needs Internal Not External Developers

I think Google could enforce a company wide pair programming initiative and still be way overstaffed.

Did not see the earnings report today?

Google's revenues grew 56% year over year, they're not overstaffed until they're hiring people without growth.

Revenue is always lagging indicator. Besides, only Wall Street analysts make decisions based primarily on revenue. You can do a lot better than that. I think they're overstaffed when they hire people and they're bored, and I think that's been the case at Google for quite some time now.

I remember an article about Japan's premier pro baseball team hiring the 2nd best and sitting them on the bench just so that they don't play for the other team.

Isn't this just what google is doing?

It is a win win situation for them.
