I'm seriously astonished by the depth of these Freudian analyses of the dark underbelly that is Google's "engineering culture", and how everything bad with the world can be linked to ...

... a meaningless decision to have a transparent proxy in some network path some free code takes on its way to you?

>a meaningless decision

If it's so meaningless, now that Drew has complained they can just make the alterative the default for their software right? Right? It is MEANINGLESS afterall.

When faced with a decision, someone chose the option that took extra operational expenses to keep services online. If you're going to call that a meaningless, then you've either a huckster or have got quite a lot to learn my friend.

Exactly! It's so meaningless they shrugged and flipped a switch when asked to do so in a single blog post. Try that feat with any policy decision google actually does care about!
