The attitude within SRE toward Orkut (the product) was one of disdain if not contempt. A healthy culture does not treat rapidly growing products this way.

- mike_hearn 2y agoI mean, I'm personal friends with a former Orkut SRE. The idea that Google SRE ignored or disdained Orkut just isn't right. Nonetheless, if your job is defined as "make the site reliable" and it's written in a way that can never be reliable then it's understandable that you're going to have at least some frustrations.
