Next month will mark the one year anniversary of when I emerged back into the real world, staggering into the light from an 18 year stay in the developer mines at Google.
This post mirrors my experience as well. My muscle memory (even after 3 years) keeps going to typing "g4 opened" / "prodaccess" every now and then. I'm also glad to hear that I'm not the only one who felt this about bazel.
I think the non-availability of docker probably has kept library-versioning-sprawl in check at Google. Never had to worry about various library's compatibility with cuda versions and the hardware etc.

Great post!

It has been a while since my Google days, but didn't Midas / MPM packages provide some of the functionality of Docker?
