Inside Google we just constantly joked/complained about "old thing is deprecated, new isn't ready yet"

This held for internal APIs, facilities, systems more even than it did for the outside world. Which is terrible.

Can confirm this internal joke/complaint. In hindsight, hearing it my first week or so should have been a strong red flag toward future frustrations, and the current state of some products.
