Not sure why you are triggered by this (do you work on Flutter?) but this "weird" story is backed by https://killedbygoogle.com/ - we are not talking about a company without a track record here. Peace out.
I just can not for the life of me understand the mentality of someone who themselves knows full well this isn’t a topic they are an expert in will jump into the middle of a conversation about it, spout nonsense and when they are corrected that what they are saying isn’t actually true chooses to double down on it rather than just accepting they had some bad information.
It’s just incredibly weird behaviour and yet, almost every time I’ve seen a conversation about Dart or Flutter on here for the past year or two I keep running into the EXACT SAME situation and made up stories like what you did today.
You’ve just made up an entire story in your head further proving my point here. I don’t work for Google or depend on them for any income. I’m just a person who’s frustrated listening to moronic arguments.
Why you are incapable of admitting when you’re wrong however is really something worth reflecting on.
You’ve made up not one but two stories now to justify some idea you have in your head about the situation. That’s extremely weird behaviour.
> Hey folks! Kevin, product manager on Flutter and Dart here.
> The layoffs were decided AT LEAST a couple of layers above our team and affected a LOT of teams. (I think I can say that). Lots of good folks got bad news and lots of great projects lost people. Flutter and Dart were not affected any more or less that others. It was a tough day...tough week.
That's the reality of things. Whatever you came up in your mind to think that laying off "lots of good folks" won't affect priority, speed and quality of a project, that's up to you. You should deal with your frustration in better ways, maybe with a specialist.
Even if I could they tend to exaggerate to make the list more impressive. E.g. they include stuff that has just been rebranded or changed form a little (Chromecast) or even things that were obviously one-offs (Google Cardboard??).
