😤 That feeling when your favorite project too goes in the graveyard...

đŸĒĻ Killed by Google

It has become a running gag to poke fun at Google and its track record of killing products people rely on.

Oh a new product from Google?
I wonder how fast they will kill it this time.

According to https://killedbygoogle.com/ it's no less than 285 products đŸ¤¯ that have known this fate.

So clearly it's a structural problem that never got adressed and the backslash from their (ex-)customers is well deserved.

It's fun. But also not so fun.

😞 The same fate await all of us

We do a curious job and that fate of seeing a beloved project goes to the graveyard await all of us!

We do our best to avoid that. And sometimes we do great things. But often it doesn't matter.

☀ī¸ Toxic positivity

"Just focus on the bright side and move on. You have learned new things and your next project will only be better ☀ī¸â˜€ī¸â˜€ī¸".
-- Joy from Inside Out

Sorry Joy, but sometimes it's your baby, and loosing your baby hurts.
Ever heard of the stages of grief?
