Google hasn’t hired “the very best” for at least five to seven years now; there are plenty “average talent” employees who do their job adequately.

Mind you they do hire some of the best, but the idea that google engineers are “the best” is a myth.

I never said google engineers are "the best". I said that this is what Google tries to do. IMO it did this pretty well 10 years ago, but as a company gets big this gets much harder.

I heard though they are still trying to do this, even being aware of the lower success ratio.
