It’s a fairly major problem that people look to Google as a center of management and technical excellence while it is not and hasn’t been since 2007 or so.

The last person I respected there was Matt Cutts for his combination of public relations and “make the freaking training set at all costs” mentality that separates the people who make working ML models from the rest. Google doesn’t give that to the world, no it gives us Kubernetes and OKRs to kill startups which could be potential competitors. (Sorry when product-market-fit is job #1, #2, #3 and #4 you can’t waste 30 seconds on a system which will twist all your productive people into knots while giving narcissists free reign to determine how they and others are perceived by the organization.)
