I'm at Google and am not entirely sure what you are referring to, but I'd love to try it. Could you provide an internal codename I could search for? Or is it integrated somewhere in Cider (the name is public knowledge so I'm not leaking anything by using this) that you could guide me to (i.e. X dropdown -> 3rd option) while preserving ambiguity?


I’m fascinated that of two people working at the same company, one raves about how an internal tool is a complete game changer and indispensable while another isn’t even aware it exists.


I'm fascinated that at a 175k employee company, two employees I know nothing about, in business areas or positions I know nothing about, could possibly use different tooling for their day to day duties.

*Surely* at your place of work, the cleaning staff is familiar with the CTO's dearest tools and vice versa?


That’s an unnecessarily snarky answer given the two people above are clearly both in similar roles. The parent comment was asking where to find the option in the tooling they both shared.

Snarky replies comparing CTO to cleaning staff don’t even begin to apply.


surely at my place of work, there is no cleaning staff and no CTO.


Shoot me a mail to e-hackernews[at]wthack.de so we can connect less publicly.


Googlers.. please take it to internal comms.


I miss the days when google was super open with their new tech :/


Relax, they just bragging.


It's not trivial to find the person talking. Why does a comment or two bother you so much?


It's a conversation that isn't relevant to anyone outside the company. One commenter, who may or may not work in Google, is asking for an internal codename.

You're the downvoter here so why does my comment bother _you_ so much?


On any other "social media" they would be great comments, but they're not really in the spirit of Hacker News.
