Gotta love those Google releases that come out long after Google knows they should have been released and far past their prime date and therefore are so quietly announced you could mistake them for a fart in the wind. firt/1091044844406038530Permalink On twitter.com

Gotta read release docs, github Readmes and follow the right Twitter to figure out which product Google will let slip out today, but don't worry, IO will be a big announcement of three identical chat apps again because no one at Google knows what anyone else is doing.Permalink On twitter.com

Sometimes I wonder what the most depressing unit to work at in Google is... And I realize it's gotta be PR. Sitting there like an atrophied limb only awoken when some journalist asks why big G supports holocaust deniers.Permalink On twitter.com

Anyway, PWA at Google was a push from (checks Wikipedia) 2015!Permalink On twitter.com

There are many cool & awful things that come out of Google on the regular, basically despite itself, and it really has no idea how to talk about them because they are so obsessed with secrecy b/c that's the SV way. Like... Google's advantage hasn't been tech for a long timePermalink On twitter.com

Google shouldn't care about secrecy because no technical secret is going to allow another company to overtake Google, their advantage is that they are huge, massively funded, and own multiple copies of the internet. That's not something some startup is going to duplicate.Permalink On twitter.com

The irony is that Google is impossible to disrupt now, except through its own secrecy and incompetence.Permalink On twitter.com

I think Google honestly doesn't know if anything it releases is good any more and giving people a bigger window into what's going on would be to their advantage, stopping dumb projects before they crash through the floor under the gravity of their own flaws.Permalink On twitter.com

Ugh it's just so depressing to think about. Google owns a store of data about humanity and how it interacts that is so huge and deep it boggles the mind but the best it can do is rip off Apple and blackmail websites into making lighter easier to archive pages.Permalink On twitter.com

It's like you own the world's largest library and you spend all your time split between redesigning the entryway coffeehouse and lobbying publishers to stop printing hardback books so you can save money on buying shelves...On twitter.com

Sure, shelving costs money, but that's the best you could think of for your time? All the world's knowledge and the best Google can do with it is optimize the bottom line of expenses and fail at releasing Apple Pay? Honestly, it is just so depressing.Permalink On twitter.com

Anyway, enjoy PWA. A cool technology that could have Mattered if Google had gotten its shit together around supporting it in a reasonable amount of time.Permalink On twitter.com

PS: Also it fkin sucks that we're so dependent on Google supporting cool internet technologies in order to drive their adoption. Android, Chrome and Search all living in the same house is a nightmare for the open web.Permalink On twitter.com
