Replying to Avatar Comte de Sats Germain

Devs are dangerous to stuff that already works. Almost every (maybe every) program or website that I initially liked has been turned into unusable junk by all the additional features they've added over time.

As they say in engineering (real engineering): "don't fix what ain't broken."

Exactly, feature creep has ruined so many great pieces of software. Developers like to develop. It's not in their nature to say 'the is feature complete, let's not break it'. I say this as a developer.

Something I've been curious about - do devs have to report to the typical moronic middle managers that have inserted themselves into seemingly every industry? Cuz I could totally understand if managers are orchestrating the creeping enshitification of software.
