I've yet to see a single kick ass web app from Google. All of them are barely functioning slow-as-molasses slugs (or I'm jaded by the entire GCP experience).

I recently tried https://deps.dev and was surprised by the speed. But then I realized I was no longer used to things being that fast, and it used to be normal

EDIT: typo

I think this is somewhat of a more recent occurance, and possibly only GCP related. I've only had a couple GCP interactions now but all of them have gotten me to stay away from that specific portion of Google.

The early (invite-only) versions of gmail were fantastic, especially given the narrower pipes we were all surfing with in those days.

It seems lately that Google has just become Yet Another Large Software Firm, with everything that that implies.
