I feel like this hubris is why almost every google product I use is riddled with horrible bugs. The cursor move functionality on Gmail for iOS has been broken for TWO YEARS. It’s also why the tensorflow API is a horribly over-engineered abomination when Pytorch is almost at feature and performance parity with something exponentially simpler and more consistent/elegant. That “biggest baddest solution” culture makes sense for Bigtable; it’s god-awful for anything remotely customer facing.
