Same thing seems to be the case with their messaging team. I don't know how many they are, but even before they spread themselves thin by releasing Allo and Duo they lagged behind the competition and released rarely and with few differences when they did. I have no idea what Google uses their engineers for, it doesn't seem to be Android related anyway. I think Reader went away because they didn't have anyone to maintain it.
- iainmerrick 10y agoThere were plenty of people inside Google who would have liked to maintain Reader, but management explicitly made the decision to shut it down. (I'm not saying that there's anything inherently unreasonable about that, although I happen to disagree with the decision. But these things cost money and they decided they didn't want to spend the money.)
