I wanted to switch so I could use single sign on with my google account because they use the magic link login but I couldn’t. So sad :(

I wonder how they'd handle this under the GDPR, which has an explicit "Right to rectification".

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.

Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

Obviously if you change your email address, the old one ceases to be correct, even if it was correct before.

They don't. They haven't been fined yet to care.

Guys remember this kind of stuff when you are building side projects. You can just ship you don’t need every feature on day one.

the ability to change email address is not that complicated of a feature to postpone to later.

maybe they should ask CC to fix this...

It’s not a complicated feature and it’s also not required on day 1. At Cronitor we did not have it for nearly 2 years.

I don't know. I actually find it harder and more stressful to write code in a way that does not meet a certain quality level. it require me to actually think more.

It's king of weird, but I have tried over the years to develop a do-just-what-is-necessary-now mindset in my software engineering work, and I just can't make my mind work that.

For me, doing things right is a way for me to avoid having to hold too much context in my head while working on my projects. I know the idiomatic way to do something, and if i just do it that way, then when I come back to it I know it should and is architectured.

“I don’t have this feature yet” is not really a mental burden. For any successful project that is always true about a lot of features.

They should dogfood their own product and ask Claude to fix it for them. :|

Same like openAI

Do they use Okta or some other 3rd party Auth solution?

(wrong thread)

You're probably in the wrong thread. This is about changing email addresses for accounts. That's not a payment-gated feature on Google.

future of humanity btw.

Maybe they can use an LLM to help them implement this feature ? Oh wait a second...
