Its totally untrue that Google uses open source first before writing something themselves. Literally, the whole infrastructure is custom google goop and it can take a noogler months before they can do the most basic task.
You can see this in the response to "we can't serve files correctly" in that there was to rush in write new code in a Google language (Go), as if there weren't thousands of existing ways to solve this with an open source component already.
