Supposedly, they had thousands of programmers working just on Alexa. No wonder it never worked very well - can you imagine how hard it must be to coordinate the changes among that giant mob of software wizards?

I do a little programming and I truly hate to try and figure out other people’s code. I like tight code, and I use lots of documentation comments to explain it in detail. So the next guy/gal doesn’t have to figure out why I did such and such.....

I used to like Alexa. I know, I know ... it's a bug. I get it. But it played my music, told me the weather, and let me set timers and alarms easily. Useful.

Now if I ask the weather it tells me and then adds a commercial for some other useful service it can do like "Today will be cloudy with a chance of rain. I can also tell you recipes for sweet treats and desserts, would you like to hear some now?"

I'm at the point of saying 'Amazon, you had a good thing going and you done f-ed it up."
