Google Engineers don't even the other *books much for work, if they don't exclusively dogfood their own products, you know they don't have much faith to keep it going. Likewise their own phones.

One of my current clients is an EV charging firm and realised the tech side is such a mess, though of doing a Parse/Firebase/Stripe for EV chargers and networks.

So people don't need to lose braincells over this till it actually matters.

I got so sick of not being able to find good driving routes that I'm working on https://shuto.app but also because Waze wants but to cut through London for my current contract gigs rather than take the M25 sensibly I'm also working on having the algo handle that for default. Testers would be appreciated if you ping me below though at anosh@ below link.

Also if anyone needs a contractor hmu at https://elephtandandrope.com

Also working on youtube vids to teach people to code for personal branding and another channel for POV driving vlogs but editing eats time :(

Just whatever time can allow really!

What's with the strangely transphobic jab at the end of the post? Perhaps "linuxreviews" also needs to look at improving their image. It comes off as very petty.

I'm not a fan of the opalgate woman but we still should show some modicum of respect. All I see is a rant.

I've seen the exact same thing as a small-mediumish (100-200 now) start-up I used to work for, there'd be an email sent around to encourage employees to leave a good review, seeing as you can't change your review after it's a scary way to waste your shot.

But I guess that shots wasted anyways if the system is rigged to begin with.

I just want to point out that is the same creator as StreetLend[0] who has previously posted the same thing but under their other startup.

New comment by KingNoosh in "How Mark Zuckerberg Led Facebook’s War on Google Plus"

KingNoosh — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 18:04:37 +0000

Was it really a war? I don't believe anyone thought Google Plus would've actually stood a chance, and now it looks like G+ is splitting to many little micro-services such as spaces, Allo and Duo.

Not the mention the whole YouTube users being constantly harassed to input their real name which gave G+ an even worse taste in their mouths.
