I rarely miss working for Google.
... but I will note, as I read this error in the commit-tests for this PR I wrote that says "That button on GitHub's UI? Never press it. This is the commit check to make sure you didn't press that button..."
Google's NIH syndrome is legendary, but one of the pros of it is that there is *always* someone to file an issue with to *remove that damn button* instead of having to work around it.
NIH is hell. Having to deal with everyone else's software and third-party integration pipes is also hell. Different circle.
