“Immensely disappointing”: Nike killing app for $350 self-tying sneakers

Without updates or ability to download after August, app will become useless.

Just because the internet of things was two hype cycles ago doesn't mean we can't still dunk on it.

    We were using a fork we customuzed of an open source package (we will merge our additions but the team wants us to wait until they're done with a major revision). At some point another upstream package made a fundamental change that broke everything. So we learned the hard way to have upper bounds on all required package version numbers lol. That was such a pain to investigate.

      Lol, sounds like the work I would do at my job. But absolutely! This is why there should always be a >= and <= version requirement on dependencies.

      Dooown with needless updates no-fun-allowed
