Ever wondered why Chrome and Gmail have become so much more sluggish and memory hungry?pic.twitter.com/6dlitSE0da

Yeah, Gmail has been visibly altered for the worse at least in terms of loading time. Kinda sucks because I really like the predictive typing stuff but it's too annoying to wait almost a whole minute to load an email (sounds like such a 21st century rant now that I read it).

On the bright side, the basic HTML view takes you back to the 2000s :') (when machine learning was called stats and blockchain was a Lego term?)

My one bad review at Google was the time when I decided the best use of my time was to refactor the code I was given to take it from 0% to 80% test coverage (and fix many bugs along the way). I got a shitty review; the guy who wrote the original crap code got promoted.

This may explain why TensorFlow has an endless stream of updates and new features but with less concern about backward compatibility.

I’m not convinced this is the cause. What’s Facebook’s promotion model? Why does pytorch continue to excel? Same goes for react?
-
Isn't Angular also 'everything but the kitchen sink?'. I don't know if it is just a coincidence that both Pytorch and React are more lightweight than the Google equivalents.
-
Blame Judea Pearl, but I fail to see how Google’s promotion incentives are causation just yet.

Ah, the infamous promo driven development cycle

They are just moving fast and breaking things. Isn't this at least a partial consequence of the general culture in the industry? Lots of Startup energy, but less Finishup gumption.

The more I read from ex-Googlers and Googlers using anonymous IDs, the less I want to ever work with Google. Sounds like one of those dystopias that looks like a utopia at first glance. A place where everyone outside is trying to get in and everyone inside is trying to get out.

I tried to apply once, in Japan. The recruiter seemed ok with my application but the Indian guy who made me pass a test vetoed me, officially because I didn't know in-depth the TCP+HTTP RFCs. I learned from another Googler that Indians at Google trashed non-Indians applicants.
-
Now that's just bullshit and nothing has been done about it is more shocking! I guess you can easily sue them and win cause this is plain discrimination
-
TBH I can't be sure it's the (only ?) reason. I remember saying that in 10 years of IT (admin+dev) I never needed such deep knowledge but if needed I knew where to find it, which would be fitting for Google. It was a support job, mind you. Well I found another job afterwards.
-
However it looks like it's a well-known fact inside Google Japan, but who would dare to complain when the CEO is also from India... To me they have the right to do as they please as long as they fully understand the consequences.

Worst part about it is that many companies are copying that crappy and broken promotion system, just bc Google. Either you focus on project, or you put the effort in getting promoted, but you can't have both unless those two objectives are aligned.
