        “According to reports from sources that produce news on such matters, this is critical,…”

        That was incoherent for me.

        In a major development, according to reports emerging online

        and

        According to reports from sources that produce news on such matters

        These just scream AI-written to me. Especially the second one. Nobody talks or writes like that. If you don’t have sources to mention, you don’t mention sources.

      Google’s response sure is some vile corporate doublespeak:

      As we’ve said, we’re responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead. To best position us for these opportunities, throughout the second half of 2023 and into 2024, a number of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better, remove layers and align their resources to their biggest product priorities. Through this, we’re simplifying our structures to give employees more opportunity to work on our most innovative and important advances and our biggest company priorities, while reducing bureaucracy and layers.

      Fuck. Google. Sideways. With a chainsaw.

      Does this mean that Flutter will be taking a tentative step toward the “Killed by Google” graveyard?

      Flutter looks technically fine, but who would choose a Google framework for their app given Google’s reputation for suddenly killing projects?

    Ok so supposedly Google fired the team maintaining its own version of Python, which was about two dozen people.

    “coherence” aside, is there any other evidence for this? It seems pretty straightforward. If there is, google is looking seriously off-the-rails. If not, then ok it’s a bad article. I guess we shouldn’t try to google it.
