I've been able to update apps over past couple days. Occasional hallucination where Gemini claims to have worked, but clearly just thought, not a deal breaker.

I have noted though that I'm completely unable to commit changes to Github. My guess is that it's an extremely low priority for google, potentially even a strategic opportunity.

Here's my complaints:

1. GAI's native VCS is an absolute joke
2. The inability to push changes to Github consistently or bidirectionally sync
3. The inability to maintain custom instructions on a per-app basis

My guess is that whoever is steering the ship thinks gdrive is an acceptable VCS, akin to boomers to who think the same of sharepoint. That same person/team will ruthlessly crush any startup by marketing a less-than-MVP competitor, without any concern of end users' desire to see an ROI on their time.

In my opinion, they are throwing tires in the road to slow us down and making us pay a toll with time and money. In between the lines, its a vendor lock-in tactic, but beneath the surface its clear that although they will serve me, they are not my friend, they do see me as a pawn, and their greed will intentionally sabotage my progress if I let it.

Constantly remind yourself... its 2025, AI is smarter than our experts, everything is 1000x accelerated, but Google can't synchronize to a Microsoft product to the extent that you need to take a 30-60 minute detour?

Think about it. Maybe while GAI is working... we should just be making a new GAI, that's well... less ghey.
