> But the most annoying problem with any internet voice chat is not so much the quality but the latency. Landline phones have noticeably lower voice quality but one can still enjoy a conversation perfectly well. High latency, on the other hand, absolutely ruins the experience. Maybe this is because traditional communications were built by people working exclusively in that field - and they eventually became true experts, with a deep understanding of the real issues. Nowadays Internet chat services are cobbled together by happy-go-lucky engineers who, prior to this, maybe did an ads firehose on Twitter, and after this project will perhaps move on to work on Facebook games or whatever. Smart people to be sure, but their understanding of the field is necessarily superficial. The fast rate of change in this industry explains many of the things that are ailing it currently.

I am very petty about this one bug and have a very old axe to grind that this reminded me of!
