Having recently had an infuriating experience with an Android app submission, it seems there's a horde of people in a similar jam, running the senseless bureaucratic review process gauntlet: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/1ck1wyp/did_goo...
I just dropped support for Android on my app. From now on it will be iOS only. That’s where all the users willing to pay for apps seem to be anyway any dealing with Google bureaucracy just isn’t worth it.
It feels like every ad has to end with "NOW!" or "TODAY!". Yes I understand how big research results give the marketing people good reason to insist on it, but it drives me nuts! I do wonder whether its overuse might diminish its supposed effect.
Famously, B&Q’s original name was “Block and Quayle” after the surnames of the founders - but they switched to B&Q because everyone in the trade were abbreviating it that way.
This triggered following a shallow rabbit hole through their history. It's a nice double meaning to incorporate their initials (Blimie & Herman) and heritage in one brand name.
Similar points were covered in the recent Tyler Cowen podcast with Tobi Lütke[1] regarding economic stagnation in Canada & Germany (relative to the US).
The UK has a cynical view on progress, likely leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The US seems to have a contrasting view with an optimistic by default outlook.
I call this program in one's head "suspended comprehension" as it has a degree of transience and fragility that requires effort to resume where you left off.
I don't suppose it's a problem that can be fully solved; just an ongoing arms race.
The hardest part is not deterring genuine users at such a decisive consideration stage.
Is that the same one that sometimes asks you to click on motor cycles and zebra stripes in a loop and you never come out? (this happens often especially if you're on a somewhat uncommon IP address, like an IPv6 /48 with just a few customers on it)
That’s V2. V3 is always invisible and only returns a score. It’s not unusual to redirect low scorers to a v2 challenge, but afaict you have to set that up by hand.
A bit of a curveball I spotted was professional skill marketplaces like https://www.bark.com/en/gb/software-development/ which, when on the platform, you'll find people posting their esoteric software dev requests which could lead to some interesting gigs.
Without knowing the security measures in place, it strikes me as a ripe vulnerability to any determined nefarious actor to destroy or infiltrate this submersible data centre.
