Another victim of Google's shitty trade-in process. Box arrived empty, despite me sending them a video of me sealing it in the box + proof of postage. $0 and no recourse - can't even do a credit card chargeback as they'll delete your account. So that's nice.

Not really surprising. Yeah, it might get you 80% of the way there, but we all know that reading someone else's code and finding the issues takes much, much longer than just building it ourselves. It tracks that the last 20% takes longer than expected.

I hope Google are pleased with themselves - the technology to do this does not need to exist and is only going to be used to create 1) derivative junk and 2) misinformation

I've seen a loooot of social media about the Fujifilm X Half but I've not seen a single decent photo taken by one yet. As much as I love the idea of the camera I think it's a miss overall

Interfaces are your best friend. Put wrappers around third party code, especially for data requests. It will be an immense help for testing and for changing data sources over time.

I really enjoyed going to Google I/O last year and hanging out with people from the community. More FOMO than I expected today. Where we live now is beautiful but man, I do miss being closer to community events. London was peak for that.
