[Rant] Google: Making Users Do Engineers' Work

2 pointsby hedayet3 months ago
Want to use an AI API? Here’s the difference:<p>OpenAI &#x2F; DeepSeek:<p>1. Generate an API key 2. Install OpenAI client 3. Add your key 4. Make API calls<p>Google Gemini:<p>1. Learn IAM (roles, permissions, service accounts...) 2. Grant access 3. Download key file &#x2F; authenticate via CLI 4. Figure out which region supports your model (because not all models are available everywhere) 5. Hope you picked the right setup—otherwise, try again!<p>I genuinely believe that if Google cared just 1% more about its users, the end impact would be enormous

If google cared their maps would still have actual street addresses. And the names of every street.
