What are some tools used internally by Google that are not used outside for the same problem? For example I heard they use Piper instead of Git. Can you tell us more examples like this? 500
Pretty much everything was built in-house, though there are increasing amounts of OSS or externally developed services available.
Are the in-house products still better than their OSS counterparts?
It is tough to say better or worse because a lot of it is built around specific workflows and needs (and legacy). It works reasonably well for goog but likely wouldn't translate well to another company.
I heard they use internally developed toilet paper called shit paper.
Piper is far superior than git in many ways Also, their code search is out of this world. No one can beat that. Their monitoring tools are awesome as well
They use pixel phones.
