Google's decline in search quality could be explained a lot of ways. But something that must be a factor is changing from being led by computer scientists to, in 2015, being led by a an MBA from McKinsey. I think MBA dogma is ultimately poisonous to long term quality.

@williampietri I never really bought the "this person did an MBA, that is the root of all problems" argument.
Pichai spent way more years studying metallurgical engineering & material science than he did doing his MBA. Also, he's been with Google since 2004 and spent most of his working years in technical fields. Every time he speaks it's also clear that he's smart and technical. I don't understand why a CEO would need to avoid a business education altogether to be good.
