Currently looking for a new work adventure.

On several input channels I’m seeing rage about the new Android Phone and Contacts apps, big redesigns with no warning. If there are people for whom you provide tech support, e.g. elderly relatives, you'd better get in touch and teach them how to answer a phone call, because tapping the green button doesn’t work any more. Also it’s hard to find call history, and more.

Some Product Manager needed a promotion. As usual, when doing cost/benefit analysis, the pain inflicted on users was ignored.

We need to fight Google's new ID requirement for app developers. It isn't like showing ID at the airport. More like showing it at the printing press and only IDed authors are allowed to print books.

What Google doesn't talk about is that they build this ID system to ban developers and their apps.
