I started writing in this node on [[April 29th]] with the intent to have a short essay in readable state on the first week of [[May 2024]] (depending on how work and personal life went), but then I decided to make it my month-scoped priority and to take the opportunity to write also the internal proposal. Note I have covered many of these topics before, as fragments, elsewhere in the [[Agora]]; please reach out if you have any questions or comments :).*** # Why I'm writing this letter -I am writing this letter because nobody else seems to be doing it, and I thought it needed to be written. +I am writing this letter because nobody else seems to be doing it, and I thought it should be written. I write it with the occasion of the [[founders letter anniversary]], a date to me more significant for my relationship with the company than probably any other. In this occasion I was hoping for both the company and the wider internet to take the opportunity to have an open conversation about the general state of affairs as [[Google]] the /[[public company]] enters the third decade of a mostly deserved reign as internet search engine and provider of [[knowledge tools]] in the market. Instead so far I have seen the date go by mostly unnoticed. People seem jaded by the context, as if Google has lost their trust and can now be expected to [[do no better]] than other corporations; to act just as other corporations do, despite our [[founders letter]] being our public declaration of intentions. The base for which users, and stockholders, decided to trust Google early on.
