Throwaway for very lawyer cat legal reasons. Layoffs and attrition has gutted some teams and puts pressure on what and cannot be maintained. This is compounded when teams are offshored to India or Poland and none of the original engineers are around to help. We also have to contend with go/degrowth and shrink our service footprints, so you’ll see more G services go on device. I know of several TLs planning on leaving in the next couple of months, so the Google brain drain is well underway.
