If by "a few years" you mean 4-5, I have to strongly disagree. I witnessed extremely sloppy and incorrect general logic, even worse pathologies around concurrency, and disagreement between:
1. tech team gatekeepers 2. language police gatekeepers 3. mandated framework gatekeepers
when 1+2+3 all disagree and decide to block approvals, it's just comical. Especially since everybody is so sure they know "the right way". The high horse on which many devs at Google sit appears to be purely misdirected/unwarranted ego stroking from many people's point of view who are just trying to make practical, every-day decisions.
