Someone is inevitably going to bring up enshittification, but I think the thesis described software over the past ~20 years. Apps today come pre-enshittified, or else turn to shit extremely quickly (see ChatGPT turning to ads and Anthropic strong-arming Cursor).

This is a key part of the widgetizing of design: product managers manage to a number that is easiest to measure. In lieu of having a real strategy serve as a guiding principle, it's just "did number go up" and if not, you are fired. And by far the easiest thing to measure is # of features added.

This is such a great thread, I love it. I don't do frontend any more but this describes a lot of why I don't

Why is it the fault of employed designers that they did the project over getting fired?
