Thank you for saying this. I bought the physical copy of the book a few years ago, before I was a heavy user of Google OSS projects. I cracked it after I was shocked by how bad many of the practices seemed to be.. And it's all working as intended? The bit on docs is confusing. Google docs of some of the most poorly organized, least easily referenced docs I've ever seen. [0]
Skip forward a few years and my projects are full of workarounds for years old Google bugs. It feels like fixing basic functionality just isn't a priority. Most of them are literally labeled "NOT A PRIORITY".
[0]: You can read Scrapy's docs, and the docs for most major Python libraries, from beginning to end and just "know" how to use it (https://docs.scrapy.org/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/ https://docs.scrapy.org/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/). With Google docs you have to piece together fragments of information connected by an complex web of "[barely] Related Topics".
