I can't tell if this comment is implying that my comment is unclear, or if you're agreeing with the first line of my comment.
In either case, though, it's an inside joke precisely because it's more relatable to those who are (or were) inside. In particular, I think it would be most funny to someone who was at Google about a decade ago; when I left Google in 2017 things had already changed enough that this didn't ring quite as true for new hires.
That said, GCP is not very representative of what the internal platform looked like circa 2010. (Or even of what the internal platform looks like now, as far as I know.)
