That's his point. It's not a bad tradeoff... for Google. It might be a bad tradeoff for you, if you don't (according to his thesis) have a revolving door of mid-level engineers lacking domain knowledge and/or a large fleet of SREs.
- KirinDave 9y agoJust an aside, it's slightly opposite from what you said. Google doesn't want software engineering at a larger scale to enter into the world of domain specific folks at all. So they specialize in giving domain specific folks a very tight coupling to the computer without a care in the world for most anything other than a narrow band of parameters. They very much have an org for generating software that treats domain specialists as pluggable domain optimizers. Architects and SRE all enable that.
