Another year, another story (I could argue another week another story).
Please keep in mind PayPal is NOT a bank, so use it as a transactional service, and that's it.

"If there was a similarly priced alternative I'd be gone in a second." Cool, so they're cheap, decently-ish on support and there are no alternatives, yet you complain they are making some money from people that don't upgrade their old hardware.
I understand that there are complexities at scale, but is it that hard for google to have in the manual review process somebody looking and verifying that indeed there's another fucking app that does the same, maybe we should figure out what to do ?
Why not just send partial fields and handle it server side?
Not to mention its more data over the wire for small changes.
Aka stdClass based obj's are still fine to have dynamic properties. So mostly sure it's still going to work.
Actions are more important than words, otherwise it's just political fluff.
Again they should have refunded people, not care about their language, they didn't so that's a big no-no.
Every company is saying 'sorry', every politician is saying 'sorry' but there are no actual follow ups and ways of fixing it.
How would "We are trully sorry for this incident" make it any better ?
I do mind the fact that they don't pay the people their money back if they try to find alternatives to get to their destination. That's 100% unacceptable.
Infrastructure, regardless if you use a paas or not, is a tough cookie to crack and deserves a normal sysadmin role.
Monitoring, resource utilization, network management, library updates, costs among a few are things you need to master, observe and proactively manage, not keep it as an afterthought since it magically just works.
And it makes 0 sense to compare usage of a framework with some arbitrary extra features of a language.
You could at least say the more features we have in the js std lib the less random crap people will insert from their package manager.
Does it suck to drive a SUV in a city ? Mostly yes, but is it better to tax people based on the car size ? Won't this just make some people have 2 cars now instead of 1 ?
Different tools for different things by far.
