The only way I'd consider this, is if the telemetry my app generated is available to me or can be rerouted to another target. If so, please add this ASAP. Otherwise, I'll stick with my own observability stack.

They're giving the appearance that they're working on marvels. Given the amount of raw human intelligence they've hired over the years and the profoundly underwhelming output of the organization it's pretty clear it's was an illusion to trap investors.

Maybe they’re bad at, or maybe the problems are just hard.

Given the output of every other company tackling self driving cars, for example, I think there’s some evidence it’s the latter.

An “illusion to trap investors” seems like a big leap without any real evidence to support it.

Can you provide more details on this? I decline to use a number of apps supported by Facebook and Google but have yet to have anyone refuse to hire me because of that.

Sure. During the recruitment process I had to go through a few stages and a few people. One of the seniors wanted to send me information via WhatsApp and I responded that I do not use WhatsApp. His response was pretty much install it to communicate with me or you're more trouble than you're worth (worded much more diplomatically). I did not install Whatsapp and was informed shortly afterwards that they are going with a more suitable candidate, even though I was far enough in the recruitment process that I was already scheduling with the PM.

Thank you, I was about to comment it's not a service it's a product. And frankly this has always been the case they were just more subtle about it in the past.

I've been using this instead of the password store for over a decade now.

Works every time and is portable as hell.

How are people still using password lockers?

And sells us our data back via secret government contracts. Yay!!
