Army of interns should about right. I always suspect that Teams is developed by some beginners who are learning Scrum. But yes, Windows 95 to Windows 2000 were a huge jump in usability. From Windows 8 on and the “Metro” interface they threw it all away.

>I always suspect that Teams is developed by some beginners who are learning Scrum I get the same feeling from Google's android and Pixels. Lots of neat features keep getting added, but the SW and HW issues that end up in the final product make it seem like an incredibly amateurish effort for such a wealthy company hiring top talent.

  I think they rotate the interns every year. That will explain the GUI^WUX advances. /s

    UI/UX keep getting shittier over time is an industry wide phenomenon not a Google exclusive one. To me everything kinda peaked in late 2000's and has been on a downwards slope ever since the mobile became the dominant platform so everything from desktop PCs to cars had to look and function like a phone.

      Perhaps controversial but I think the ability to ship continuously is also a factor. You just have to pass and fix the things with the most complaints after. A holistic view on the general user experience will never make it to the top of a pile now.

        I think yearly releases were much better. I feel a lot of sites and software now have constant change you can’t keep up with and often the change doesn’t really improve anything. Reddit would be a good example. I constantly have buttons disappear and rep appear or move around. Same in YouTube. Much friction for no benefit.

  Also a product of the mentality that you get ahead in your career by adding new features, not by maintaining existing features. Maintenance is boring and the new kids straight out of college don't want to do the boring thing.
