And yet it's been a decade since this video and practically everything it mentions is a non-problem now.
No one is spinning up new borgmon instances. Spanner is replicated by default. Only very low level services need to care about PCRs. If you use one of the approved frameworks it will set up practically all the production configuration for you. Basic alerting for your service is automated, just turn it on, picking cells to run in is automated, scaling your service is automated, etc.
Actually getting quota remains a problem... :-p
Anyway I would argue we can and do have nice things, and that has happened precisely through the efforts of a huge number of people at all levels.
Edit to add: of course, there are always new problems to complain about! It's the march of progress after all.
Yes. If someone were to make this video today, it wouldn't be about production jobs and PCRs, it would be about privacy reviews and branding approvals.
