Google is an AI first company Google's future is strictly tied to its AI products All AI is written with Python. Google lays off all Python team. Segmentation fault
Meta is clearly driving most of CPython efficiencies. The projects listed are mostly stable so it's smart of Google to let the community drive it forward and they just use it ("we had managers that were extremely good about work life balance" and "marathon not sprint" should tell you all you need to know.) Python inside Google, for non-AI stuff at least, feels quite a bit different than with different defaults than t…
That's how all jobs should be though. The only time anyone should be sprinting is if the building is on fire. I guess Google is moving to a 9-9-6 schedule, and they want to do it in Munich where they can pay peanuts for it.

Where does the source indicate Python team layoff?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seriously, what is the reason for this move? The language is so good and well known that they don't need a dedicated team to do these activites you talked about? Or are they hiring cheaper workers? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40171125#40176438 I don't understand such a move, because all AI is developed in pytorch. I think that google uses JAX and pytorch.
they are building a new python team from scratch in munich, for whatever reason. yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either.

Python is only used for prototyping within google. All production ai code is run on c++
Edit: I guess I'm not sure on whether large training runs count as prod or not. They're certainly expensive and mission critical.

Ad hominem with just a tinge of that sweet sweet latent homophobia? Why? And that hypo... what exactly is the fear bringing all this on so viscerally... is a long defunct soviet union still the starring Freddy of folk's dreams? Disclaimer: I grew up in the USSR, it stank big ups. I live in the USA, it also stinks big ups. Sometimes for similar and sometimes for different reasons. Let's hope Fukuyama was wrong and we'…

That is quite the claim, any source? Edit: I guess I'm not sure on whether large training runs count as prod or not. They're certainly expensive and mission critical.

I am sure you will find another job that you really like. Well you said you guys were seriously understaffed but that makes it more nonsense to fire them. So were you guys working on a specific project and will those guys from munich continue on it.
