On Wednesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sundarpichai\/status\/1955694620878225795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">posted on X <\/a>about Google Calendar\u2019s new feature to duplicate events \u2014 an addition that was specifically requested by Stripe co-founder John Collison last month, also <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/collision\/status\/1941577498082541856\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">via an X post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 5, Collison asked if Google Calendar users could get a Ctrl-click option that would allow them to easily duplicate events, similar to the feature that many native calendar applications already have. Collison tagged Pichai in his post at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While users often tag companies and CEOs with online feedback and complaints, you know you\u2019ve made it when the CEO not only replies to you, but also implements the change you\u2019ve asked for. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the case for Collison, at least. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrote Pichai, \u201cThis feature is now live for everyone on Google Calendar on the web \u2014 thanks for the suggestion!\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, some X users began to poke fun at Collison\u2019s seeming influence by asking him to help with their own specific concerns, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joked Box CEO Aaron Levie, for example, referring to the notoriously congested highway that runs through Silicon Valley, where Waymo\u2019s self-driving cars currently have <a href=\"https:\/\/sfstandard.com\/2025\/03\/11\/waymo-launches-silicon-valley-robotaxis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">limited availability<\/a>, \u201cJohn, can you ask Waymo to work on El Camino through the peninsula?
