Why should flickr invest time doing that when the IA didn't want the account?

I agree, I have Android Auto in my 2019 VW Tiguan. Its awesome but its very easy to spend more time than you think picking a playlist from spotify etc. With your phone you know not…

Where I work we spend millions per month on AWS, its our primary cloud platform. At that scale the UI of the console really doesn't matter, everything is IAC so developers rarely n…
