Hey, no worries. I'm not a googler or xoogler. It definitely seems like maybe what I said, the way I said it, viewed through a lens different than my own, may have come across quite differently than I intended it.
I can't speak to how particular patterns have played out at Google, I just wanted originally to respond that the advice being given runs counter to my own lived experience at other places. Not to undermine the original post, just to say it may not apply universally.
