Don't patronise me. I've been developing commercially for 20 years now, I'm not exactly wet behind the ears, nor easily persuaded by anything but facts.
I've evaluated what they are doing on their technical merit. If you want me to give you a detailed explanation of why I prefer their system, it'd probably take about an hour, so it's a bit much as a HN comment.
I genuinely think their direction with the API I'm using is the way forward, I've been waiting for someone to have the balls to do it for some time.
Any anyway, I must have missed the outpouring of love Google received for closing Reader, for not having a native Google Linux kernel OS Drive client, and so on.
- adestefan 13y ago> I've evaluated what they are doing on their technical merit That's your problem. Google is phenomenal on their technical merit. It's the softer, people skills (support, listening to bug reports, etc.) where they constantly shoot themselves in the foot.
- znowi 13y ago> Google is phenomenal on their technical merit They turn into Microsoft where brilliant engineers are bogged down by corrupt management :)
- e40 13y agoGoogle is phenomenal on their technical merit. It is precisely technical merit where they fell down and that's why he decided against the development.
- joseph_cooney 13y agoI score Apple and Microsoft pretty low on these two measures also. Support MS are OK to good, but listening to bug reports seems to be hard to do at scale. Can anyone provide any examples of people doing it really well?
