For me (both logged in and not), for many short & simple tech queries Google fares better than competition (for example, googling some package name or API method shows GitHub repo or official docs as first link, while in DDG it's often not the case).
On the other hand, for slightly more complex queries, in last months there's been an enormous flood of low quality GitHub / StackOverflow / blog post copy-pasta spam pages.
And overall Google quality is really getting worse for discoverability of internet gems or interesting pages with good writing; unless you use specific unique keywords (site's unique name etc.) and/or heavily use double-quotes, it will find SEO-optimized pages with low quality.
