I'm suspicious many redesigns came from just that. The app is needed, so we hire people to make app. We got a bunch of designers and developers to develop UI in a team. But OH NO!, WE DID A GOOD JOB! EVERYTHING WORKS AND IS EASILY EXTENSIBLE! What next? There isn't enough work on the new stuff ? We just add UI for a feature other team develops every so often, that's not enough work to go by. And, more importantly, MANAGER CAN'T MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD when doing only maintenance and not delivering features. What to do, what to do? I know ? Let's rewrite perfectly functioning UI again! Let's fuck around with stuff that works fine already. Make it look "modern" while we're at it. Use new framework so we can't reuse that much code. That will keep the devs busy and manager getting bonuses!
