Nope, none of what you describe equates to 'complexity', there just happens to be more 'stuff' (unless you consider other, more popular languages with even more tools/libraries to be even more complex, in which ca

Indeed, and I recall there being only rudimentary profiles and I'm not even sure there was messaging functionality. You had to actively visit people's profiles to see what they were up to and had to follow conversations from wall

Your descriptions about Myspace and Facebook are post-hoc . It's easy once something grows big to retrospectively say {Service} let {certain people} do {something} in {some way} (e.g. I recall music being a thing for all my friends on

This would change almost nothing in the current scenario. Companies still have in-house legal teams, who are trained lawyers and I'd argue they are still 'subordinate' to whoever their managers are. Given the number of star

I see it as absurd because when you get to that level, there's no information about what you can practically do to fix it. You've gone way past the threshold of usefulness — if you get my meaning (in other words, this reductionist

You're taking four words from an article (not original sources) and deducing a root cause. In the absence of those four words -- which is the only time 'deadline' is mentioned -- would you draw the same conclusion? I do not

That almost sounds like you're absolving the engineers (as though they can do no wrong). Changing a part, without also changing it's part-number, doesn't sound like a normal thing to do (and then forget about). This is a comp

From my point of view, that sounds like pretty weak reasoning. I'm all for anonymity and the freedom to change your mind but you make it sound like this is one of the defining features of using Quora (& a reason why people use it).
