    Stop! Stop! He’s already dead!

    But seriously wtf Google. Commit to something besides advertising. I thought I was bad at never finishing my projects.

      Forget never finishing, you should see the stuff they’ve killed:

      Never trust Google with anything long term. They’ve got the commitment of a teenager who just decided they want to learn guitar.

        Note that a few of these are misleading…

        AngularJS no longer exists because the library switched to TypeScript (which can be used with JavaScript code) and is now just called Angular. For the non-developers, TypeScript and JavaScript are mostly cross-compatible, and having a typing system makes way more sense for what Angular tries to accomplish. They didn’t actually kill the project.

        The Google Duo app also got more or less facelifted into Google Meet, so it’s not like it’s actually dead.

        Those things being said, the amount of things on that list is pretty crazy. Especially the ones that were straight up canceled and not rebranded/replaced.

      I am definitely still bad at the projects thing. Like, I’m not even sure I still have projects. More like things I used to want to do, but can’t because my “I don’t wanna” gets in the way. But I still want to finish them.
