Ask HN: Why is today's Internet experience so user hostile?
I think we software developers tend to overstate the impact that the inner world of software developement has on this kind of thing. It wouldn&#x27;t even occur to me that &quot;release often KPIs&quot; has anything to do with it.<p>The reason the web looks like it does today is because it mostly <i>works</i>, for the value of <i>works</i> that the people building the web care about. Most things on the web are there because someone wants to make money from them. And apparently they do. Things being &quot;hostile&quot; are a side effect of them being <i>effective at making money</i>. That&#x27;s mostly the whole story.
