  • You seem eager to pose this “if the product was undamaged” as if you can quantify what might have happened differently, but then in a comment below you ask someone else to prove that maintainers left.

    It might shock you to learn that products are developed by people. Actual people stay or leave and work wildly differently based on things like respect, expectations, and being in a hostile environment.

    Want proof of that? Go work on an actual project with a team sometime.

    edit - And this isn’t even accounting for the ways toxic communication impedes wider adoption of a product












  • This is less a design choice and more the reality of package-based architecture, but - menus that I have to wait before interacting.

    I spent most of my life being able to enter clicks and hotkeys as fast as I want, because they would queue up and the app would resolve them in order. Now I can’t type too fast after pressing the Windows Start button, because the start menu needs time to load before it can handle KEYPRESSES. Tapping Windows key followed by “Discord” will search for “iscord” or something if I type full speed.

    It feels like every modern app is optimized for a slow person browsing one-handed on a phone.
