#13Aside from being a Game of Thrones reference, "Dragonglass" appears to be a code name for a smart display device, or for smart display functionality. https://9to5google.com/2018/12/28/fuchsia-friday-dragonglass...
ooh I was hoping it would be a minor leak about something like that :-D

Imagine the sound in the datacenter with JIRA spinning to life on 219 million bugs.

Bug is used very broadly, any issue/task is a bug, some of which are of type "Bug".

I would be alarmed if a company the size of Google with as many complicated projects and as many different developers didn't have a bunch of low level issues like this hanging around!

The system's external name is IssueTracker[1]. Internally it's name is buganizer. Buganizer has been around forever (or it already had a ton of bugs logged when I started in 08).
It gets (ab)used to store tons of semi structured data with a pretty good siloing and acl capability (including allowing Google 3rd party partners to work on issues). This data includes bugs but also tasks, workflows, approval processes etc. Buganizer is very api-first so many different tool frontends use it as their backend.
Generally every huge leap in bug numbers was associated with buganizer assimilating another tracker's bug database (from acquisitions and similar). For what it's worth no issue tracking system I am aware of has avoided buganizers huge gravity well. I expect this trend to continue.
