Interesting comment. Thanks for the write up. > The design doc culture at Google is excessive and silly I have a friend who started there last year and said the same thing. > My peer SREs actually know far more about all the nice Google architectural stuff than our peers in SWE-land, who are mostly implementing features on top of huge abstraction layers and typically are only exposed to one particular facet of the infrastructure. Google's infrastructure is impressive and something of a marvel. It doesn't mean it's perfect. SRE is the better point of view to observe it. Interesting point here as well.
