QUALITY IS A HARD SELL IN BIG TECH

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Big tech companies often release products with issues like unintuitive UIs, outdated code, unfixed bugs, and poor developer experience. This focus on quantity over quality stems from a prioritization of short-term stock gains driven by flashy new features, rather than investments in long-term product improvement. This strategy involves intentionally degrading product quality after establishing user dependence.
