This post is exactly how I imagine people who only ever worked at Google to think. This has been my experience from having to work at Google and to work with Google.

Bizarre definitions of commonly used words. Huge emphasis on in-house tech, which is mediocre at best. Extraordinary claims supported by fictional numbers.

I think, there used to be a culture where employees scored some brownie points by publishing blogs. You'd need those points to climb the ranks or to just even keep your job. This blog reads as one of those: nothing of substance, bunch of extraordinary claims and some minutia about Google's internal stuff that's of little consequence to anyone outside the company.

I mean... choosing gRPC of all things to illustrate RPC, when there's actual Sun's RPC in every Linux computer is just the cherry on top.
