> tools as ahead of their time

Steve Yegge had once mentioned in a podcast that the tooling inside google internally is somewhat like magic, and years ahead of anyone else outside.

It sucks a bit that it's all internal and unavailable to the outside. They're not even looking at commercializing it (presumably it's too dependent on google infrastructure for it to be sellable).

Unlike amazon's ethos, which is that the internal infrastructure is made available (at some point) to sell to outside.
