The thing about Android is that you can at least dial your fanaticism down a bit and still have a reasonable set of choices among brands.

The desktop version is so woefully behind it isn’t funny.

That’s odd. Search works fine for me even with books that I uploaded to Google Play. Here’s me searching for some IBM redbooks.

Nice thing that Google does is that you can always export your stuff from Google Takeout.

Google Play does have a Search and it shows you if you have it in your library or will let you proceed to search for it in the store.

I’ve actually come around to using Google Play books on my Android devices. It really has gotten much better over the years. Now I just wish they’ve update the web version. Unfortunately, that one still looks like a circa 2001 web app.

She needs to change her name to Cleopatra because she is the Queen of Denial.

I came here expecting a slightly different article, but good to see this!

Sounds like a bad work situation.

That’s great. Now where do the skirts and dresses go?

There’s also a world of difference between “coding” and “software engineering”. More to the point, there’s a world of difference in the skills needed to program an application used occasionally by <50 people versus an application that is used 24/7 by thousands or perhaps millions.

My feeling after giving 3 weeks notice after 30+ years - headed to a new job with better pay and bennies.

Did he get the ball back from the fan who caught it?

Not necessarily. You can have a great boss, but the levels above him or her might be pretty messed up. I know from whence I speak. In fact, your boss might be looking around too. Joining forces and breaking the news to their bosses is great fun.
