   A friend of mine sent me these screencaps and I’m laughing so hard.

     @zeh I’m sure it can be explained by looking at the incentives at play. Beats me what they are, though.

     @drahardja I've seen plenty of corporate dysfunction from the inside to know people are dumb at scale, but Google's issues with naming and re-releasing shit is still so bad it's inexplicable to me.

     It can't just be "people want to get promoted" or whatever has been the ongoing narrative. It needs to be deeper. At this point, it HAS to be intentional in some baffling way. No sane leadership should approve this sort of move over and over.
