Rather, the large tech companies are some of the worst offenders, but it's coupled with egregious arrogance and a self-held belief that they're better and smarter than everyone else. Google is in an even more unique position as they can bully their way around the internet by breaking and influencing standards at their whims. Ever tried to get support from Google? Go ahead, I'll wait.
- jiggawatts 3y agoThat’s a conspiracy theory. Reality is much mundane and boring: the person writing the web app has no vested interest in the app actually providing a good service for customers. His or her boss doesn’t care either. It’s simple disinterest: the self-interests of the coders are too far removed from the interests of the customers. If you’re a solo dev working on a startup and every lost customer is money gone from your pocket, you will pay attention to every little detail. If you’re a cog in a giant soulless machine, you do the bare minimum and go home.
