My Take
Susan Wojcicki is one of those rare figures whose influence vastly outweighed her public profile. The image of her renting out her Menlo Park garage to two Stanford grads, only to become Google's sixteenth employee and eventually run YouTube, reads like Silicon Valley folklore made real. What strikes me most is how she steered the world's largest video platform through a decade of impossible moderation debates without ever chasing the spotlight herself. Her death in 2024 felt like the closing of a foundational chapter in the modern internet. I respect builders who shape culture quietly, and few shaped ours more than she did.
