> There is zero possibility that Google accomplished proper "language transfer" with the vast majority of Silicon Valley programmers being native English speakers.

This speaks to ignorance of who Google employs. A ton of the engineers are immigrants there. When I was on Google Photos in MTV, I'd estimate it being about evenly split between native, English-first speakers, vs people who were either non-native English speakers or grew up with two languages simultaneously (children of first gen immigrants in the US).

Silicon Valley has a huge amount of cultural and ethnic diversity, so I don't know why you would make this mistake.
