For upcoming PIP wave, YouTube is…
Can you guys just get over it and put this feature in the iPad app? This rivalry nonsense is just fucking over the user.
Since the mid 2010s, every single update made to the mobile app UI has made the app SIGNIFICANTLY worse. I genuinely can’t think of a single good feature that was added. What is going on at YouTube? How do these people still have jobs? Are they just making these needless changes as promo projects? ...Read more

YouTube, Google ads in every other place Amazon ads (not to mention their overall retail sales softening) Same drivers right? Am I thinking straight here? People cheering for Meta PIPs wait till it bites the broader industry sooner or later.
Google seriously needs to start PIPing their stupid ass engineers and PMs. I have never seen any other product so full of bugs and worst of all I paid for this shit. Cannot properly connect to the smart bulbs, cannot play audio from YouTube videos, cannot play your own playlists from YouTube Music e...Read more
People will not shutup on tiktok and YouTube about how they tripled their income in less than 1 year by working 3 jobs etc. I'm worried that it starts the wave of tech scrutiny such as RTO, layoffs, and pip. Will all of this impact tech or am I Overthinking

Which do you value more?

After having a weed session, I realized most of my life decisions are fear or ego driven. Fear of lagging behind, fear of failing, fear of being put in PIP. Ego to prove I am the best. Went into top colleges and kind of successful at Amazon. Always do things right before the deadline. If money was ...Read more
I know people are hating Sundar for all the layoffs and taking away their dream of a - "Retirement Home / Coasters Paradise". But I am in full support of what he did.

Honestly, if I were in a different company hopping within 6 months won’t be an issue. You could easily say I didn’t like the team or work. It’s dicey to say the same when you are at bananazon. People think you are pipped. I don’t like the culture here at the company and operation load due to which...Read more
