Strange. Had never read blog posts about individual engineers leaving Google on official Google Developers Blog before. Is this a first? Every day someone prominent leaves Google... Sounds like a big self-own if Google starts to post this kind of stuff. Looks like sole post by either of the (both new to Google) authors in the byline.

Same, what point does the post serve? And it's not like Keras is the hottest thing in DL world.

Even if it were, the article is written like a farewell email the employee sends to their group, not from Keras standpoint. I bet a couple rando VPs are writing self-promotional material to increase their visibility and they had nothing better to publish. Both are only 1yr in there. Google needs a DOGE (Department of Google Efficiency).
