Google is notorious for its habit of killing off products, and 2023 has been no exception. In just the first four months of the year, the tech giant has already pulled the plug on six products, leaving users scrambling for alternatives. Let's take a closer look at each of the products that have been shut down in 2023 so far:

Google Code Jam
Google Code Jam

Google Code Jam: This international programming competition was hosted and administered by Google. It consisted of multiple rounds of online and onsite contests, where participants had to solve challenging problems using their preferred programming language. The top 25 finalists got to compete for the title of NAME_1 and a prize of 15,000 USD at the Google headquarters. However, Google has decided to shut it down in 2023.
Google Currents
Google Currents

Google Currents: This service provided social media features similar to Google+ for Workspace users. It was launched in July 2020 as a rebrand of the now-defunct Google+ platform. However, it was shut down in April 2023, and people using it were pushed to Spaces, Google's equivalent of a Slack channel.
Google Street View
Google Street View

Google Street View app: This app was available on Android and iOS and enabled people to get a 360-degree view of locations around the world. It was over 12 years old but was shut down in March 2023. While the app is now gone, its functionality still exists on Google Maps and Street View Studio. As this comment on HN pointed out, this was a good move by Google.
