Google and Its Software Engineering
January 7, 2019
Do you want to know how Google makes the Silicon Valley stew? Navigate to “Software Engineering at Google” and stick in your spoon. This technical paper will help some understand that when Google engineers “relaxing” of relevance algorithms or implements special user tracking features in Google Maps, the inclusions are not accidents. This may be useful information when someone considers a “surprising” behavior of a Google system. When I hear, “wow, that’s a surprise,” I will be a bit skeptical.
