I feel like a lot of their engineering blog posts are patting themselves on the back a bit prematurely. Here's an article I wrote last year about a blog post they put up about their approach to geofencing which I was not particularly impressed with https://medium.com/@buckhx/unwinding-uber-s-most-efficient-service-406413c5871d#.y1gnoncxh https://medium.com/@buckhx/unwinding-uber-s-most-efficient-s...
- GFischer 10y agoReally interesting article. I'm also a bit naive when it comes to geofencing (but, then again, I'm not engineering in a 50bn company). Waste of existing talent is unfortunately a way of life at large corporations :( .
- knz 10y agoInteresting article - thanks for sharing it. I've had some limited involvement as a GIS expert brought into assist the IT department in dealing with a geofencing solution they agreed to use with various ride sharing companies that use the facility I am employed at. I can't say much but there were multiple issues that could have been easily avoided with a basic understanding of GIS - I have no doubt that some of it was due to the IT department at my employer but am also incredibly surprised that any GIS staff at the ride share companies would have agreed to what was implemented.
