this is the risk, no matter how useful products are. Google just cuts products at a whim. and sends products to the graveyard.
even the one's that wouldn't cost 1 engineer - looking at you - Google Podcasts.
- refulgentis 2y agoPodcasts would need more than one engineer, certainly more than 0 <= x < 1.
- danpalmer 2y agoI'm biased here, but "at a whim" seems like a bit of a stretch. I've never been particularly surprised by product cuts – they're always the products that have no real traction or look clearly unprofitable. Now maybe this one won't get the traction, but Android and Pixel certainly do, and Google has committed to very long support timelines on Pixel, something I see as a win, and that I'd hold them to account on.
