> Haven't worked at Google, anyone else share this sentiment? I worked there, and the quality is definitely much higher and the code tends to be far more maintainable. However, there is often a cost for that, which is velocity. Some of this is reduced by the sheer amount of automation in tooling (i.e. bots that block style violations and common bugs before a code change is submitted). In other cases, it slows things down quite a bit.
