Sure, but you can't actually use an example from Google to deduce what's going on at Epic Games.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying there aren't problems at Epic Games (most companies have them). What I'm saying is, we're just speculating: how is that helpful? Either to them or to this discussion?

We're either casting vague and hand-wavy aspersions or citing more specific examples where we actually have no idea whether they have any relevance to Epic Games.

It's just noise because, as you've pointed out, we're not internal.

It was illustration of though process - that seems to make sense to me.

Yes, it is noisier than direct info from inside but you may learn something.


Are you arguing that the internal workings of a company can't be visible at all to outsiders? Or that there's no correlation between the rate of public, easily preventable failures and technical incompetence? Or just that it's not "helpful" somehow to point these things out?
