@yaya "constantly re-inventing their perfectly working UI, irritating users and breaking workflows" is such an interesting failure mode of modern large software companies. I saw the *exact* same pattern when using spotify, for instance.

@yaya I think this stems from the organization hiring a large number of UI desing / programming people, then eventually finishing their UI. Since these people need to do *something* not to be fired, intentionally or not the start inventing stuff to do. Since most orgs only have a very remote grasp on the actual wants and needs of their customers, the fact that this constant re-invention fucks up the UX more than it helps flies completely under their organizational radar.
