Did they fix it? Did they care about fixing it?

  Nah, it's still trash, and they expanded it to more markets! The good-but-not-great software consulting firm they replaced us with (lower per-head rate, and they don't question the tech lead) sometimes still emails me to try to get ideas about how to fix it, but they never bite the bullet. They're thinking of doing things which will actually make it even slower and fatter. This is what happens when you hire people who are foolisher, lazier, or more short-sighted than you, they rot your company from the inside out. ;- )

    This comment depresses me. It just sounds like everyone had no experience and just threw their hands up and said fuck it.

      I've thought at times about contacting the CEO or the board of the company to let them know that their executive might be screwing them out of tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars by being lazy and selfish, but I'm beginning to think that this is just the way it's supposed to be. Maybe it's for the best that they don't make a smooth end-to-end ecommerce user flow, more money in common folks' pockets in Taiwan and Western Europe, and more money in the pockets of developers.
