Project Fuchsia: Google Is Quietly Working on a Successor to Android
 <i>&quot;One person who has spoken to Fuchsia staff described the effort simply: &quot;It’s a senior-engineer retention project.&quot;</i><p>This has been my therory for a while. You see all these different projects competing against each other (multiple messaging apps are a good example) and you think: why is Google so unfocused? But what Google basically wants to do is hoard engineers so they don&#x27;t leave and go work for competitors and make them stronger (or start their own companies that could compete against Google).<p>So Google&#x27;s management figured out that if they give these enginners some cool stuff to work on, they&#x27;ll stay at the company, even if the stuff they work on is a duplicate of something else the company has already done.
