... "and that's why we're deleting a bunch of features never to bring them back. Because we're just so efficient!" Crazy how many companies use this awful excuse.
Also is that a misquote by the author or did they really write "requiring"?
More often than not that is corporate speak for "we fired the old team and replaced them with cheaper workers. And we didn't want to pay them to learn the old code/they tried but failed, so we are dumping features now"
Removing old features so we can bring them back as paid features later on.
Misquotes are unlikely thanks to copy-paste. The post from Plex has been edited, so I think it was to correct that typo.
Ah, that makes sense. I didn't realize we had asked for a new UI, here I was thinking we just wanted basic quality of life updates
It’s wild to me. I’ve been in software development for almost 8 years now. The number one thing that we’re told across both companies (one small company and one huge company) is to not remove existing features or APIs.
