I agree with this. I manage a fully remote team, and the bottleneck on delivering complex technical projects is the inability to effectively communicate. Slack/Teams do have limitations as communication tools.
I find the contrast of the colors is much better when driving now. Things seem more bright/neon in a way and things actually seem to blend less for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the update.
I don't hate the colours and they're now closer to real street maps. This is of course a subjective opinion as I haven't put the new colours into use to see if the desaturated scheme is more glanceable.
In this example the bright blue route (matching the directional arrow) is actually the optional path, the true path is the softer blue colour (as signalled by the turning direction at the top of the screen.)
Yeah, I find the new colors (and fonts!) a massive improvement in readability, especially while driving. It's so much easier to get situational awareness, recognize crossings, road exists and important landmarks.
But I did share the opinion of author and whined about it like a good HNer when I've only seen the blog post and before I actually tried it.
How's the resource in question the dog? The dog's are used for illustrative purposes to convey a technical idea. So not finding a bone, the resource, is appropriate. Also it's such a HN thing to do to dissect humor in such a way.
Is this satire? If someone walks their dog past your office and you can see their testicles does someone have the job of blocking the view for all the employees?
