It hurts in so many ways.

I re-read How Google Works, Engineering at Google, etc. Kind of ironically, YT delivered these fantastic talks from 2011:

Google I/O 2011: HTML5 versus Android: Apps or Web for Mobile Development? https://youtu.be/4f2Zky_YyyQ?si=rbKgYi7Rck-6y3qE

Or HTML5, CSS3, and DOM Performance, Breaking News at 1000ms with Patrick Hamann

This was and still is fantastic stuff.

The next step would be to drop the unofficial requirement that every manager be able to code. MBAs at Google: regression to the mean.

Old Google was inspirational; new Google seems to evolve into yet another drawing board MBA construct.
