How are engineers proud to work at reddit when their primary job is maintaining a worse version of the website full of ads, tracking, dark patterns everywhere and fake loading screens?
It's also slow, very slow.
- intricatedetail 6y agoThere are people who can do engineering done without feeling proud or particular care about ethics. I've seen those at uni. Looking at IT through the money lens and no personal projects, no dev work outside of study, no books that are not absolutely necessary etc.
- ajsnigrutin 6y agoI mean.... you have to eat... if reddit pays you enough to make shitty software... why not. I'm sure they have a gajillion teams doing A/B testing, and using only advertising metrics to decide how it looks and what it does, so it's not really the devs choice of what to do,... they just have to implement it.
