AKA the guy that single-handedly turned Google's culture from transparency-first to siloing-first by making looking at "need-to-know" information a fireable offense[1].
The Catch-22 here being, of course, that you don't know that you didn't need to know until you know.
That's to say, the only way to know if you have violated this policy is by violating it.
The result was, unsurprisingly, that where sharing permissions for documentation were default company-wide earlier, it quickly became "you need to know the right people to ask to get access to it".
Google, with its mission to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful", thus made its own technical documents unsearchable in internal engines (and thus, disorganized), inaccessible, and therefore, useless.
Everything that drops from that person's mouth is toxic.
Yikes.
