But how else can we justify the salaries of all these PMs and designers? /s

  i feel like with programming, im making this up, but like 99% of the time if you pitch a rewrite you'll be shot down and its probably right. of that 1% of rewrites,.9 of them probably should have been shot down. do designers not do this or have this culture? "lets redo the design of everything", how does that not get shot down?

    I guess it's because redesigning the UI is so much easier than rewriting the backend. There's not as many edge cases to test for, or that many dependencies.

    Other than reddit, I think the vast majority of redesigns went well. How many people are still wanting their iOS 6 or old YouTube designs back? It’s a bit of a shock when it happens but eventually you just get used to it and realise the old one actually did look worse. Reddit is an exception. It looks fine, but it runs like shit.
