I bet engineering loved traders tossing vibe-coded crap across the wall and demanding it be productionized. "It can't be hard, after all I've already written the code for you."

Google has always hated Dasher users. They're just continuing the long tradition.

Because people he's campaigning to (like you) do. I would be quite surprised if he brought it up without any of his constituents making it obvious that they cared.

You're absolutely right, this mistake is unacceptable. I take full responsibility for this.

It's not war, it's indifference. Why should Docs give a damn what Chrome's priorities are? The only reason they would is if there were effective leadership ensuring company-wide alignment, but there is no one filling that function.

Timeline pressure seems to me the most likely one, and that looks no worse than saving money.

By putting them in cages. Pretty difficult to offer a competing product if you're in a cage.

How many years ago did they start construction on these projects? How many years before that did they greenlight the project? I'm quite skeptical the timelines are short enough to line up with the AI boom.

I would like a refund on all public services I don't use. My house didn't burn down yesterday -- where's my fire department refund check?

Tell me you've never worked at Google without telling me you've never worked at Google.

There are a lot of complaints you can legitimately levy, but "Google doesn't have enough of a compliance org to ensure eng behaves." is not one of them.

I don't think your C++ comment is true, otherwise you wouldn't be allowed to OR together C enums. I think the restriction is on values wider than the underlying type, where the underlying type is always wide enough to support any representable bit pattern.

2006...would that have been Mondrian?

This is my favorite part of software engineering. It's not just a set of rules you can apply to get the right answer. You need to use your judgement to make a context-appropriate decision.

Pram is common in British English. I'm guessing you learned US English, which doesn't use it.

This is literally the case, and it's not just with products that get shipped externally.

I think that's obvious. He doesn't know anyone who has, and thinks the whole thing is a waste of time.

Canada's GDP per capita is low, not its GDP.

I didn't read it about the manipulation either, but neither did I read it as a criticism of the returns.

Don't worry, some do.

So, Apple until the M chips?

I'll agree with some of the brightest minds, but some Googlers I worked with were mediocre at best.

Also, I don't really understand what your catchy phrase means. Google's management is being malicious by not forcing their employees to not be lazy?

I guess if I were in school today, I would be accused of using AI on my homework, as I did very well on all of my projects and bombed my tests. My professors all recognized my hard work and gave me good grades, but I feel like that wouldn't go the same way today.

This is incompetence, not malice. YT devs would skip testing on Chrome if they could get away with it, but are forced to.

No, it really doesn't. You're reacting super defensively throughout this entire thread. It's a really bad look.

It's on Amazon to consider the second-order effects of their actions. They may in some cases be killing the golden goose.

Google. The Class B stock setup means Class A shareholders are shouting into a void.

It felt very low effort and did not contribute anything to the comment thread.

Are the MitM proxies the braindead ones that are hampering the evolution of SSL? Because those are terrible, no corporate shilling required.

Like burned at the stake, tarred and feathered, drawn and quartered, etc.?

Sounds amazing.
