Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

This script uses the great message extraction library gettext-extractor by lukasgeiter.

The script assumes that the location of the source files is ./src. It parses both .js and .vue files. It writes the PO template file in ./i18n/messages.pot.

Some things to note:

It assumes that interpolations in the templates use the delimieters {{}} (it is the most commmon case).
It assumes that both the template and the script sections of the .vue single file components are defined inline, and not referenced by a src attribue (it is the most common case).
Expressions to extract are hardcoded. Currently they are ['$t', '[this].$t', 'i18n.t'].
