It's funny that I agree with most or all of these principles but don't feel like my 10 years at Google accord with most of this. I wouldn't say I learned these things at Google, but learned them before (and a bit after) and was continually frustrated about how many of them were not paid attention to at Google at all?

Incentive structure inside Google is impaired.

I do think Google engineering culture does bias against excessive abstraction and for clean readable code and that's good. But acting in the user's interest, timely shipping, etc... not so much.

Maybe OP learned these things precisely because he saw the consequences of them not being done
