I heard a rumor that I was a direct inspiration for Urs's "no asshole rule". Can you confirm or deny?
The truth is: maybe I was a bit brash but time has proven me right. Had I been listened to on that product, it would have succeeded.
Anyway, your account of Google is spot-on. They hire a lot of brilliant people and have no idea what to do with them, which turns these underemployed smart people into "jerks" because of the need to prove themselves.
