I fail to see the relevance of comparing an opinion from 20 years ago to a product that didn’t even exist. Besides the fact that Google is literally 10x beyond any software company that existed in the 90s in terms of resources both human and financial. Nothing is possible until it is.

And why not? The mythical man-month is getting on 50 years old now and still relevant.

That is fair. (And, as per a recent HN post, most should strive not to do what google does, since most don't have to crawl the entire web.)
