There's something of the older BSD/Unix engeineering culture all through google's technical sutff. It's noticable through their documentaion and in some of their architectural decisions and general approach/attitude towards software engineering. I've have noticed that it's faded somewhat but it's still there, it's noticable specially when contrasting it with Amazon's approach which has a different approach or style to it. I think it has to do with the origins of older google engineers (this also would explain why/how it's diluted but still there) Also it seems that in some parts of google are trying to move away from these in order to be seem more enterprise friendly? But personally, I really like google's more engineer-oriented attitude (here are they pieces and how they are made, you can figure it out) versus a more hand-holding style which later makes it difficult to move beyond the happy path. it's not very easy to explain what I mean exactly as it all comes from a rather vague sensation about engineering style.
