Not an Googler, but my, probably way too much romanticized, understanding of Google was that they never ask you about specific tech because for everything there's an in-house version.

The problem is that too many people drank too much koolaid and trying to parrot everything to a letter without understanding the bigger picture.

The best example would be Kubernetes. Employed by many orgs that have 20 devs and 50 services.

Reasonable summary. There's some massive NIH syndrome going on.

Another piece is that a lot of stuff that makes sense in the open source world does not make sense in the context of the giant google3 monorepo with however many billions of lines of code all in one pile.
