Tell HN: Deleting Google “Frequent” Contacts Is Like Playing Whack-a-Mole

Sorry for what may be a spurious post. And I'm not slagging on Google. They do lots of great software (YouTube/Search/Maps/GCP), and I'm sure it must be super hard to maintain quality when you have so many products. But the experience I had today was just ridiculous. I found myself thinking, "This is the stupidest thing ever." What happened was I went into the Contacts sub-app and clicked the "Frequently contacted" contacts and started purging. Only to discover that a second-and-a-half after I went through the multi-click saga in order to delete a single contact, it, low-and-behold, popped right back into the list. But, heres the real 'funny' thing, it was in a different place! Wow. Literally whack-a-mole. I was dumbfounded at the stupidity of this. Yet I'm not slagging on any dev responsible, as I could definitely see myself creating a bug like this, too. But, I'm surprised it's there. Is Contacts really the dusty, spiderwebbed corner of the Internet where none ever return from (except the ones you delete, heh), and there be dragons? I mean, come on. It's a list mutation. With server sync. At least keep the deleted action state on the client, and wait for the success/error response from the server, instead of having it randomly pop back into the list. I estimate it took my 1.618*normal number of clicks for me to banish all these infrequently (and now never to be again) contacted 'contacts. Bah!
