Which is kind of tragic given their famous hiring process that every wannabe great startup feels like copying.

Maybe the process isn't that great after all.

That hiring process is for engineers tho, do we know how they hire the various product people that might end up making these decisions?

Well, code quality on Android also speaks for that hiring process.

An previous consumer of Android teams work, across NDK, Studio, Gradle, and userspace libraries, I think it does, and am quite happy that Android development is no longer something I have to care about.

Look it’s not perfect but then I hear you sing praises about like Oracle® CORBA™ with Accenture® Access II™ and I’m not entirely sure we have the same standards for code quality.

What's the point of code quality if you rewrite everything every 3 years?
