How dare I polish and remove kludges from previous releases. ๐
Also, none of those kludges would have even been necessary if the project scope was properly defined from the start and the project manager didn't let the users keep trickling in new requirements without also extending the deadline.
So yeah, how dare I go back and implement something the way it should have been done the first time?

There is a dangerously large population of devs and managers that look at themselves, unironically, as the gigachads pumping out ui "upgrades"
Many of these fail to realize how disruptive it is. UI change is like API breakage for the brain.
I have lost track of how many times I've tried to help an elderly family member with an app after some pointless, trivial, ui change. Only ending with them entirely giving up on using the app after the "upgrade" because the cognitive overhead of the change is beyond the skill that can fairly be expected for them ๐
