It is, like most of the tools in Google/Facebook/..., a custom solution. These companies need their custom solution because of their scale.

I think it attracts a lot of great engineers that they can (mostly) work on something which is used by billions of users. You can basically improve the life of 1B ppl by writing code. Also: having a FAANG company in your CV makes it super e

A "patch" in Google/Facebook/Twitter is the same as a commit. It has a (mostly) descriptive commit message, references to bug tickets and might contain links to documentation, screenshots and mocks. You basically work on

It's actually really easy to create a "patch", so people usually create small "patches" and send them to people if they need any feedback on those. A "patch" is actually just a commit (actually a changelis

How does it make sense to compare the processes of a company with >100k people touching code and products with more than 1B qps, to a startup with <5 people touching code? This comparison makes absolutely no sense.

I think we should not take "rewrite" too literally. But both, search and adwords, have been rewritten multiple times since their launch. You can have a look at the papers created by Jeff Dean (1) and Sanjay Ghemawat (2) which ment

You'll have to remember that all of those big companies have their tools and processes customized for their scale. Example: Instead of branching you would just create a `changelist` (a commit, a set of changes to files) and work on tha

Depends on the size of the change. Small changes are preferred in most trunk-based-dev companies. FYI: There are (multiple) tools in Facebook and Google which are an abstraction on top of their VCS. (e.g. which feels more like git, where yo

So you can prepare a change for trunk, and share the change with your colleagues to collaborate on. Don't see why branching should be needed for this.

You don't need branching for this. If 2+ people are working on the same file which might result into a conflict, you can either: - handle the conflict as soon as you merge your branches somewhen in the future or - handle it when trying

Looks really interesting. Are there any companies using this in prod already? Or any load experiment numbers? Proving that this actually is a "scalable real-time API"?
