Hi Gerer! Good question! Yeah, I too couldn't fully believe this when I first read it and it still makes laugh every time! Well, believe it or not, the above quote is from The Official Google Blog which offers "Insights from Googlers into our products, technology, and the Google culture". Well, IMHO, Google should have someone checking what gets blogged because this one doesn't do them very much justice and, to me at least, it paints a picture of bad planning, lack of resources and an environment that is, most likely, very overworked and not very organized at all. But, I guess that's all just daily life in the Big G Matrix Machine!
