When Reddit rolled out their new mobile site I had strong suspicions the org must be a mess internally. Out of all the problems one stuck out to me. For many months the comment sorting dropdown took 15 seconds to open from a warm start. That is a billion dollar company making newbie mistakes with React as if it was an intern doing the rewrite.
But the situation employees like you have been describing is surreal, I would never have imagined.
- ryanmcbride 8y agoI think when it truly clicked for me was when they had a workable ecperience (old reddit) that was made pretty great by a plugin (reddit enhancement suite), and then when they did their redesign in an attempt to make RES obsolete, they managed to make something even worse. They had a perfect opportunity to just roll all of RES's functionality into reddit, and messed it up. Can't even collapse comment trees in the browser app, but you can on mobile.
