A lot of it is probably hacked together -- like, embarrassingly hacked together lol

This is true about almost any company. Closed source generally means you can have lower standards.

You’re being downvoted for being overly negative, but the ops code is of (literally) shockingly poor quality.
This leak has made me understand clearly that code quality is not what makes a product great.
I guess that’s something.
The jenkinsfiles are mostly nice and clean though. I’ve definitely seen worse of those.

Oops, didn't mean to be too too negative.
I say embarrassing in the sense of, I've definitely shoved out awful code because something needed to get out(tm). And with large companies, deadlines that cause that situation are inevitable.
But I also say it like that because, well, I've seen code that causes (objectively easy-to-fix) crashes but still ships because of one reason or another: laziness, politics, inexperience. It's a part of software engineering I'm still trying to accept.
