What if I were to tell you that the Echo team spent all their time building not one, not two, but three entirely separate embedded tech stacks, for which all features had to be ported over, that all had to be supported because there's 25+ different devices because people got promoted for shipping 4 different ones every year?
- SavageBeast 2y agoI always wondered (being a developer myself) how a team at a well financed FAANG could fuck this up so badly. It seemed to me as if they were intentionally trying to ruin the product. Changes for no benefit month to month and this month doesn't work like it did last month, etc. Every night all 6 devices get reset to the same broken configuration I just changed yet again that day. What you describe here would do it easily and I'd absolutely believe you. I envisioned there had to be some reason but I'd have never guessed this was it.
