Speaking as someone who has been at Google for about 10 years, I would caution against trying to paint "developers at Google" using broad strokes. Google is a multifaceted megacorporation housing a plethora software project categories. Through the years I've been deeply involved in a wide spectrum of them, ranging from "disconnect for 6 solid months and deliver a leapfrog for the masses" to "form an umbilical cord with a handful of enterprise customers." The techniques necessary to drive results in each case vary in accordance with the nature of the problem. This is where broad perspective and good judgement come into play, and dogmatic adherence to -- or dogmatic rejection of -- any particular development process presents a risk.

- wolco 7y agoNo it was g+
- utopian3 7y agoOr one of the twelve messaging apps that got ignored by the masses because no one longer trusts their products
- mav3rick 7y agoRight. Everyone is using duck duck go , Proton mail and vimeo outside of HN.
- ilikehurdles 7y agoAllo me on Google Messenger. Or was it Android Messenger? Anyway, my Duo handle is xxHangoutsDudexx. We start a Google Talk session later.
- pmorais 7y agoStill missing Hangouts, Chat and GChat
- mav3rick 7y agoHave fun using signal with your two friends.
- utopian3 7y agoYou missed the point by two miles. I still use Hangouts, but they’ve introduced 12 other apps in the last 10 years that do the exact same thing. All while making Hangouts / google chat / gTalk (whatever it was originally called in Labs) worse.
- mav3rick 7y agoGoogle is good at a lot of things. Messaging strategy is not one of them. HN just hates Google doing well in anything so the expected harping on messaging.
