Bloated, overreaching, battery killing and permission hoarding could be used to describe 90% of apps on Play Market.
- DCKing 11y agoI hold the Facebook engineers to a higher standard than the developers of those 90%. In fact I hold them to a higher standard than most engineers.
- qubex 11y agoI hope you mean software engineers. A lot of engineering is life-or-death and intended to potentially last for centuries.
- Phlarp 11y agoThe sad truth is that the 10% that _don't_ do this are the lone wolf / indie devs or small shops focusing on a single app. It's the large corps that _should_ be held to a higher standard but aren't, and take advantage of this fact to data mine the shit out of their customers. For some reason every bank on the planet needs to know my location, send/receive text messages on my behalf and listen to my microphone in order to display a damned account balance.
