I know some Googlers. There are good people too :)
I can see why he says this from below, from the outside, however I know lots of great Googlers. I also agree with Bowman and look forward to seeing his creative work with Dustin at Twitter:
"My impression of “Googlers,” which I concede is based on little direct knowledge and is prejudicial on its face, is one of undersocialized, uncultured, pampered, arrogant faux-savants who have cultivated an arrested adolescence that the Google working environment further nurtures. Their computer-programming skills, the sole skills valued by the company, camouflage the flaws of their neuroanatomy. Their brains are beautifully suited to the genteel eugenics program that is the Google hiring process but are broken for real-world use."
