    "I'll just do this small release on a Friday before heading out" - thought a software engineer before AI-slopification period. Today it was probably some AI agent which fixed all o…

    In what situations does it even go for 404? Same for Messenger and Instagram. Never seen that before.

    I've made [candalf]( https://github.com/jarmo/candalf ) to setup my own PC and servers by using simple shell scripts instead of using something more complex like Ansible or similar…

    I've also used Netdata for years on many servers now. One of the problems with it is its way to fail silently when some healtcheck or alarm is configured badly instead of erroring …

    Creating complex software is not at all complicated, and sometimes it is done right at the beginning of a project, even before solving a single business problem.

    Double-checked - no e-mails prior 18th of August from "Google Play Console". Also, double-checked "Google Play Console" (even under "Archived messages") - first message about depre…

    But this is also kind of a problem created by Google - why force from 30 to 33 and not force from 30 to 31, then 31 to 32 etc? Gradual API level upgrades would make more sense in m…

    Not sure this can be used to "save to home screen" e.g. trigger PWA installation flow like on Android.

    What do you mean by that? Are you effectively trying to say that allowing upgrades does not have any risk of attack surface? I'm pretty sure that updating things have also a pretty…

    I'm the OP and thank you for thinking along with me here. As stated in numerous replies already then I totally agree that I could have done better in terms of testing things out - …

    I'm the OP and wanted to clarify in case you missed some points - it is a legacy application which does not have any active dev teams on it and needs only developers attention when…

    Typical "legacy application situation where no team is assigned to" here. At least I've never seen in my 15+ year career a legacy application, which has a very good maintenance/tes…

    It's true that in the future I would do some more thorough testing, but never-ever for this legacy application can I build a bullet-proof automated testing solution - there will no…

    Totally understand that a roll-back is more complex, but it doesn't explain why pulling back/pausing/deleting/yanking a release is not possible either - customers who got the newes…

    A-ha - good tip about roll-out, uninstall & install. Was not aware of that possibility. But yeah, it's still a hack and there should be a better way - just let me delete/cancel lat…

    I agree that things could have been done better in many ways. However, as explained, it is a legacy application, which does not see any active development nowadays and it would jus…

    Agreed about conflicting message. And even better - e-mail was pretty vague and had to Google a separate link ( https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ... ) fo…
