Sure. I'll grant you Junio; he seems like a cool guy.
The rest of google though? Google's engineering culture is by and for google. They're not doing the rest of us any favors.
Googlers need to admit that. Not to me, but to themselves.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoI'm seriously astonished by the depth of these Freudian analyses of the dark underbelly that is Google's "engineering culture", and how everything bad with the world can be linked to ... ... a meaningless decision to have a transparent proxy in some network path some free code takes on its way to you?
- finnthehuman 6y ago>a meaningless decision If it's so meaningless, now that Drew has complained they can just make the alterative the default for their software right? Right? It is MEANINGLESS afterall. When faced with a decision, someone chose the option that took extra operational expenses to keep services online. If you're going to call that a meaningless, then you've either a huckster or have got quite a lot to learn my friend.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoExactly! It's so meaningless they shrugged and flipped a switch when asked to do so in a single blog post. Try that feat with any policy decision google actually does care about!
- juped 6y agoI feel like Junio gets to be exempt from Google engineering culture because of his unique position.
