OWNERS always made sense to me, but the readability stuff at Google I found just... pointless productivity destroyer. I can't understand why they've kept it. In fact they made it far far worse with the incremental process. With the crazy interview process, the copious static analysis and formatting tools and style guides + style enforcement tools, and with OWNERS and team members reviewing things... what is even the point? What are they actually checking for? Back when I started there, I got my C++ readability quite easily with just a month wait or so. Then I briefly worked with a bit of Go, and encountered my first taste of the incremental process, and it.. sucked. When they rolled out incremental readability, I never bothered with any other languages. Luckily, later, I ended up working in the Chromium tree which required no such readability status.
