Valfrihet kan ha sina baksidor vilket Facebook nu erfarit. De som jobbar inom den sociala tjänsten får fritt välja telefon och alldeles för många har valt Apples iPhone. Det har lett till att alldeles få av utvecklarna använder Android.
Det innebär problem när det gäller utvecklingen av de officiella apparna, bugletande och bugfixande. Inom vissa team så måste nu ledningen mer eller mindre tvinga anställda att byta till Android.
I am mandating a switch of a whole bunch of my team over to Android, just because people, when left up to their own devices, will often prefer an iPhone, said Facebooks chief product officer Chris Cox during a briefing.
He considers it harmful that so many people on the team arent using what happens to be the most popular operating system in the world. Android has particular prominence in developing and low-income countries. By switching some workers to Android, Cox wants to enable his team in a way so that they can be reporting bugs and living in the same experience that most Facebook users experience today.
