Google Open Source Blog
Company blog · google-opensource.blogspot.caprogramming
Google Open Source Blog is the company blog at google-opensource.blogspot.ca, writing about programming. Since 2012, 6 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-30, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers cite this blog's posts about Google open source releases as a source. The comment uses the linked post to support a point about Java use at Google and says nothing about the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
GMail, Google Calendar, AdSense, AdWords, Android to name a few of the _actual_ heavy hitters from Google. Sure, not the majority, but they are all the bigger ones. http://google-opensource.blogspot.ca/2009/01/opengse-release... (I think Google Sites is also written in Java). Amazon is pretty much a big Java shop (don't forget the companies they acquired as well). Check out their jobs site.
