People would rather have something new and unstable than refined but a little out of date. That's the sole reason tech is "bad". Any company that decides we're just going to focus on bug fixing is a dead company.
Interesting short read. As a UX designer I am often tasked at creating ways to get people back into an app or a website. I feel like may never escape the profit driven cycle that enables taking advantage of people’s attention. I don’t enjoy that aspect of my job but bills must be paid.
