I used to be such a Google fanboy that I made my career as an Android developer for the last 10 years. But nowadays I'm disgusted by the company and am cynical of every product announcement. I resent feeling like I have to pay attention to the soulless Google I/O. I'm thinking of switching careers even if it means a significant pay cut.

Could still be released, but that "product demo" was a few years too early.

This is a much pithier way of putting what I said elsewhere in this thread about "frog boiling themselves out of an audience"
