It was definitely an interesting day with the language roulette
What about fixing in-game lag? Low priority issue, I guess.
Niantic Social is developed by an entirely different team then the Ingress team. They have their own team, literally the "Niantic Social Team".
I'd love for the lag to be fixed as well, but developing things for Niantic Social doesn't take time away from Ingress and fixing things there.
It's a matter of assigning resources to the most pressing issues...
Yes, but resources for pressing issues for everything regarding Ingress are only taken from the "Ingress resources pool". Niantic Social had an entirely different resources pool, so even if the Ingress server burn, the Niantic Social Team would have nothing to do with that and would continue their own work.
If Ingress' servers caught fire, I'd go into Niantic Social and create an event "Requiem for the servers" and invite everyon... oh, wait.
did you even read his posts?
This is an over-simplification of how software development works. If Team A has more work than it can handle, then (competent) management does whatever it can to shuffle resources and tasks between teams A, B, C,… so as to make Team A's workload more manageable — unless Team A's product isn't valued as much as the others.
And the reason resources get shuffled around is because when there are multiple apps that all work together, failures in one app reflect badly upon all the apps. If Agents stop playing because of lag, then they have no use for Niantic Social or Wayfarer.
