A "standard of engineering at Google"? You must be joking.

Best examples of engineering I have ever seen were done at 5-15 people startups. I'm proud of participating in some of those. FAANG on the other hand is a mire of bullshit.

Yes, I do mean it. The approach to data migrations, feature flags and testing with fakes that themselves have conformance tests, has been of a high engineering standard in my team. Automated release to production Monday to Thursday.

I can easily see it being different elsewhere, of course.
