But hype is part of the culture. I mean, there's a company whose motto was "do no evil".

I hate to be that guy, but it was “don’t be evil” not “do no evil”.

Basically meant “don’t be like Microsoft” back in those days.

Very different meaning than people often assume, and not about hype. More about not letting success get to your head and using it to crush everyone else.

Glad that worked out, right? *this post best viewed in Google Chrome
Companies change over time. Microsoft also isn't the same "evil empire" it was in the late '90s and early '00s.
