    Nah, you had to use all 3. It was 3 connectors for different things.

    Our codebase is a mess and I suggested putting “we are not stupid, we just work with Google” into our job ads looking for data engineers proficient with C and JRuby.

      Sometimes Google seems so obsessed with open standards that they not only don’t favor their other projects, their projects often simply won’t support each other.

      I blame the many Google buzz plus chat clients. Google also suffers from a lot of success, they can be complacent about things other companies obsess about.

        My guess is that the Google org culture breeds people who don’t care about the users of their tech one bit.

        Make something that’s fun and interesting for the person making it, release, get promoted, abandon.

        It’s the kind of people I tend to avoid hiring, and for a good reason. Google makes pretty much all its money from search ads, and hasn’t innovated on that in decades.
