  • Its gotten very slow and laggy and crashes often.

    In my experience, ever since the layoffs, most google apps have had a negative experience.

    Gmail layout shifts when selecting now. Maps crashes or displays the PIP ui by mistake. Too Many extra clicks added to maps as well. It’s more confusing to navigate.

    YouTube… The ad nonsense. One could go on











  • We built a Durable task workflow engine to manage infrastructure and we asked a new hire to add a small feature to it.

    I checked on them later and they expressed they were stuck on an aspect of the change.

    I could tell the code was ChatGPT. I asked “you wrote this with ChatGPT didn’t you?” And they asked how I could tell.

    I explained that ChatGPT doesn’t have the full context and will send you on tangents like it has here.

    I gave them the docs to the engine and to the integration point and said "try using only these and ask me questions if you’re stuck for more than 40min.

    They went on to become a very strong contributor and no longer uses ChatGPT or copilot.

    I’ve tried it myself and it gives me the wrong answers 90% of the time. It could be useful though. If they changed ChatGPT to find and link you docs it finds relevant I would love it but it never does even when asked.
