Wi-Fi sharing is a killer Android feature

Android phones can share Wi-Fi: join a network, then re-share it as a hotspot. It sidesteps captive portals, one-device plans, guest-network isolation, and can route everything through Tailscale. Often replaces a travel router; iPhone still can’t re-share Wi-Fi as a hotspot.

iPhones, Pixels and lazy Android developers

The Bentwits #

So Ben Thompson¹ recently tweeted:

I’ve been using Android for the last couple of weeks, and honestly, the core OS is pretty good!
The big problem is that Android apps are garbage relative to iOS apps. If developers actually care about pushing back against Apple they should give a damn. They don’t.

He then went on to attribute the garbage quality of Android apps to developer laziness. This understandably infuriated some of us #AndroidDev unleashing the droid rage. To Ben’s credit, he has since deleted the specific tweet calling out developer laziness.
