(fallen london stamps by "why do so many things made by Big Tech suck" well, mainly, because they're made with the idea of sucking as much money out of you as possible instead of being actual good products. but also because Big Tech organizationally is a clown car stuffed with smaller clown cars stuffed with even smaller clown cars and engineers keep getting tapped to do dumb irrelevant shit or attend dumb irrelevant meetings and everything internally is a fucking mess
like even if you win the lottery and get a decent team and a good manager, they're at the mercy of the whims of Higher Management, who can and will randomly squish together totally disparate teams or split up a functional team with a great dynamic, for Branding reasons or something. it's clown cars alllll the way up
