Out of curiosity, was there a process to raise that design "oddity" to someone? Is there a way in the Google mono-repo to even know who is responsible for which section?
- iamstupidsimple 5y agoThere are 'OWNERS' files which list email addresses for directories, but anyone can contribute any piece of code. Generally, it is like a giant open source project to the eyes of a developer.
- dekhn 5y agoyes you can use the 'blame' feature to identify specific lines, or look in piper to see who edited a directory recently. In addition to OWNERS files. By the time I finished maintaining numpy, I could more or less find the right person with a couple minutes poking. Again, it's one of the things that google managed to do well- a large scale code base with many developers working more or less in concert, with efficiency at scale.
