If I go to the front page of Facebook right now , I can spot at least 5 bugs in 10 seconds. Videos not loading as they should, chats being marked as "not read" while they are and so on GMail is eating so much memory and is incredibly slow to load, and the whole "render" cycle or what it's called of their fancy front end framework doesn't show the new coloured labels on the tabs until a few seconds later, a problem we solved at my job many times for our projects. But apparently the 500+ TC guys at Google think this is too hard And so on and so on, we should not even mention LinkedIn and it's horrible routing and UI sluggishness
Two reasons come to mind: 1-leet code gets you in, but you still can't think by yourself and write shit code. Give it a few years and the system becomes a pile of shit. 2-Google or Facebook are facing scales and variety of clients that you can only dream of at most other places. That requires trade-offs and process. It gets in the way. it is also possible that the users are not complaining enough for it to matter... 🤷🏻♂️
1) But those optimizations n log stuff must in theory be used for something right? 2) Yes, but if I use the newest Chrome browser on Windows 10, how can not the company who built the browser itselfs biggest products work flawlessly on it. Compare them to Amazon, Amazon actually have a good website. AWS panel is a bit clunky but it's never slow or weird. Maybe because they don't need to use dark UX patterns to gather ad revenue
Yeah.... Amazon revenues comes from the website working good. Google and Facebook? They need ads.
Fix your device/browser. Do you think we’ve not seen this before & it just passes rigorous QA testing?
Gmail is literally a CRUD list app with 4 tabs and a few routes. If a 1 year old computer with Windows 10 and Chrome latest doesn't work, I'm not sure what will...
Your understanding is bleak.
I think you’re expected to use the latest MacBook Pro.
It’s the scale. Usually the trade off in CAP is consistency.
No, just press the autoscale button
Works for me
Google suites is stupid. Business will adapt it and then get rid of it. Made for kids by kids, not for serious businesses. What kind email does not have sort, it’s stupid to have to search for everything when you get a lot more results than you want.
OP, you sound like Albertsons material.
I wouldn't pass their phone screen since they only hire 10+ YOE from FANGS
How many DAU does "New" have?
around 5
Lazy loading 101, sir
The lazy loading on FB doesn't even work if scrolling too fast
They hire overqualified people to do easy shit and they turn it into a complex problem to make it interesting to them

Damn. Well said.
