        I just had someone on my team work with 3 closely related Google data libraries, basically 3 connectors for the same data churning thingy.

        One was only compatible with Python, the second was only workable in C, and the third was in fucking JRuby.

            Nah, you had to use all 3. It was 3 connectors for different things.

            Our codebase is a mess and I suggested putting “we are not stupid, we just work with Google” into our job ads looking for data engineers proficient with C and JRuby.

              Sometimes Google seems so obsessed with open standards that they not only don’t favor their other projects, their projects often simply won’t support each other.

              I blame the many Google buzz plus chat clients. Google also suffers from a lot of success, they can be complacent about things other companies obsess about.

                My guess is that the Google org culture breeds people who don’t care about the users of their tech one bit.

                Make something that’s fun and interesting for the person making it, release, get promoted, abandon.

                It’s the kind of people I tend to avoid hiring, and for a good reason. Google makes pretty much all its money from search ads, and hasn’t innovated on that in decades.

      Which makes the quote more appropriate, since its preceded by Jules telling telling Marcelus what he wants to hear from him:

      "All I want to hear from yo ass is ‘you ain’t got no problem Jules, Im on the motherfucker, all you gotta do is go in there, chill them N***as out, and wait for the cavalry, which’d be coming directly’

      "All I want to hear from yo ass is ‘you ain’t got no problem Jules, Im on the motherfucker, all you gotta do is go in there, chill them N***as out, and wait for the wolf which’d be coming directly’

      your sending the wolf?

      You feel better motherfucker?

      Shit N*gro, that all you had to say!
