I think the point they parent posters were making is that with Google you really never know which of their projects will live long and which will get axed.
That makes Google products risky to build your business on.
- endisneigh 4y agoWhat company is that not true for?
- anaganisk 4y agoU must be kidding right? Google axes projects like atleast 1/month. Dont try to make it seem normal. https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/
- endisneigh 4y agoThe tech in the article is open source, lol.
- anaganisk 4y agoWhat does it have to do with anything tho? I mean you could fork Android but its Upstream can still be killed, it wont be maintained by google anymore. You seem to be mixing things.
- endisneigh 4y agoSomething that’s open source can’t be killed.
- anaganisk 4y agoYes it can, community fork which aint maintained by Google is not google anymore. Fork all you want, if Google kills it from its repos, its still killed by google.
- scarface74 4y agoMicrosoft, Amazon, and to a lesser extent even Apple.
- endisneigh 4y agoall of those companies have also cancelled or killed products and services. you might say Google has killed more, but Google also starts more, so...
- z9znz 4y ago> but Google also starts more Who cares how many they start? They could start a million products per year, and that would not change the fact that depending on a Google service involves considerable risk. I'm not sure why you're working so hard to defend this hill, but it would seem your local minima is within a deep crater.
- OrderlyTiamat 4y agoI'm in full agreement here, Google starts more products and kills more products. So that means... I'm less trusting that any google product is to survive. That was the original point made above.
