Why Failure is Part of the Journey: Lessons from Google Plus
Have you ever felt frustrated when things didn't go as planned, despite your best efforts? Maybe you launched a project, put in countless hours, only to see it flop. It's easy to feel discouraged and question your abilities in moments like this. But here's a perspective that might help: even giants like Google donât succeed at everything they try. In fact, one of Google's most ambitious projects, Google Plus, was meant to rival Facebook and reshape social media. And it failed spectacularly.
In 2011, Google saw the rising dominance of Facebook and decided to launch Google Plus, a social network designed to give people a different, more structured way to connect. With Googleâs resources and reputation, youâd think it would have been a surefire hit. Yet, despite the initial buzz and millions of users joining early on, Google Plus never really took off. It struggled with user engagement, faced privacy issues, and ultimately, Google shut it down in 2019.
The lesson? If one of the world's biggest tech companies can try, fail, and move on, so can we. Googleâs failure with Google Plus didnât stop them from pushing forward and succeeding with other projects. For every Google Plus, thereâs a YouTube, Gmail, and Chrome. Success isn't about avoiding failure; itâs about learning, adapting, and being willing to try again.
So, if youâre not satisfied with where you are, donât be too hard on yourself. Every step, even the missteps, can lead to growth. Failure isnât the end of the journeyâitâs a valuable part of it. Keep learning, keep adjusting, and remember that sometimes failure is the stepping stone to future success.

My Journey to Open Source: From Red Hat 7 to AI
It all began in 2000 when I took my first steps into the world of open source by installing Red Hat 7 on my humble PC. Little did I know that this simple act would ignite a lifelong passion for freedom, transparency, and community-driven innovation.
Over the years, my commitment to Linux and open-source software has only grown stronger. As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, particularly with the rise of AI, the importance of open source becomes even more apparent.
Why Open Source Matters in the Age of AI
- Transparency and Accountability: Open-source software allows us to inspect, understand, and modify the code that powers our digital world. This transparency fosters trust and accountability, ensuring that AI systems are developed ethically and responsibly.
- Community-Driven Innovation: Open-source communities are hubs of creativity and collaboration. By sharing knowledge and resources, developers can accelerate innovation and push the boundaries of what's possible with AI.
- Protection Against Vendor Lock-In: Open-source software empowers users to break free from proprietary systems and vendor lock-in. This freedom allows us to choose the tools that best suit our needs without fear of being tied to a single company.
- Ethical Development: Open-source principles align with ethical AI development. By promoting transparency, collaboration, and community involvement, we can ensure that AI is used for the benefit of humanity.
As we embrace the future of AI, let's continue to champion open-source principles. By working together, we can build a more equitable, secure, and innovative digital world.
Remember: software is not just another product, it is a living thing that lives alongside us.
