Hah, the staff on Assistant working on home integrations measured in the hundreds (I used to work adjacent to those teams). Of course most of them were either laid off or reassigned to other projects, so it's pretty likely that Assistant will stop working soon, if it hasn't already.
- supergeek133 3y agoIt takes a lot more to deal with/manage these integrations than some on HN ever realize, especially when these stories come up.
- MostlyStable 3y agoHold up....Home Assistant staff has been recently cut in a way that you think the entire thing is likely to stop working in the near future? That is a very major claim to be making. If that's true (or even plausible) it's a very huge deal. Is there anywhere I could read about any of that? -edit- also I'm either misunderstanding your comment or learning something very major about HA. I didn't realize it was a cohesive enough entity to have "staff" that could be moved around/laid off.
- supergeek133 3y agoI'm guessing when they're saying "Assistant" they're talking about Google. Not HA.
- MostlyStable 3y agoThat makes more sense, you're right.
- antonyt 3y agoThey must be talking about teams at Amazon, Google, or Samsung. HomeAssistant doesn't have hundreds of staff to begin with.
