Changing how we live by deep convergence of telephony, video, messaging, collaborative services, geospatial awareness, accessibility, smart agents, and facility automation.
My exposure to google "coding" practices and "quality" was with their C++ in Google Maps backend servers; the geospatial backend they produced for fusing map images and serving google map tiles that they then tried to drop selling themselves and then open source so other companies picked it up to serve federal accounts google abandoned. Worst C++ code ever written. Everyone who worked on that concluded the same rather quickly.
I hear they now feel they are more productive with rust than with C++. I suspect this is only because they haven't learned how to googlify rust coding practices into crap yet.
Hehe, I am not surprised. I became inspired by my own article BTW, so I started working on a reCAPTCHA alternative, based upon BlowFish hashing (proof of work), with UNIX timespans to prevent replay attacks, in addition to a server-side secret. I think I'll be able to completely eliminate reCPATCHA in fact ^_^
So far I'm 2 hours into coding, and I've got an 80% working solution. Before the end of the day, I can finally get to do SHIFT+DELETE "refactoring" on Google's reCPATCHA junkware ... :D

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
