Since she said she was in charge of Google Cloud's docs:
This was my recent experience when trying to use Google GCP to deploy a simple node docker application:
1. Google search, wade though SEO spam, 3 links on companies trying to sell me deployment products built on top of GCP, 2 paywalled Medium articles, and 3 out of date blog posts. Nothing I tried worked. -3 hours
2. Go to the GCP Developer documentation and feel like I'm opening up a course. Spent 2 hours looking around and reading, can't find the right commands, and the tutorial I found is out of date and doesn't work. -2 hours
3. Come back from lunch and decide to ask Google Gemini, who promptly replies with what looks like the answer but is really just made up. I correct it, and it even admits it made up an API and command line switch, only to give me more fake info. -30 min
4. Head to ChatGPT, which couldn't give me the right info (out of date from last year and obviously scraped from prior blog posts I read). -20 min
- plaidfuji 2y agoBeen through similar. How did you actually end up figuring it out? The old-fashioned way I assume?
- iamleppert 2y agoNever did figure it out and moved on to another client project that wasn't using GCP.
