Apparently the one app requires permissions for "an overview of your exact location, the ability to make direct calls via your phone and the ability to disable your screen lock."
I've never heard of any app being able to make calls or disable the lock screen. Is that even possible? I suspect maybe on Android?
Hang in there, man. I can totally relate. I too find myself getting tired out at the three year mark at companies, and switching things up has always helped. Although it's easier to not burn the bridge when you switch positions internally rather than start a completely different company (since often that other company can be the main competitor to the one you are leaving).
Good point. V8 gave us Node.js, right? Also I've been out of the loop for a while now about Firefox. My understanding was Firefox had a pretty bad memory leak for a long time. Was that ever resolved?
Edit: Saw your edit. Glad the firefox memory problem was resolved.
