UI/UX standards in general are dogshit in most modern software. It's actually baffling how nobody bothers to do even the most basic polishing of their application as the OP. Like they note, clicking around for 10 or 20 minutes would reveal many imperfections, not to mention actually having testers and experiments and any semblance of a scientific design methodology.

I believe it boils down to what we teach as “finished”.

Is a feature finished when the code works? When the pull request is merged? Or when a feature works well?

I also believe there’s a lack of care. The difference between a craftsman and anyone else is care.

The lack of care from the product managers filters down through engineering. Product managers only care if a feature is shipped, not it it is polished. More shit shipping means more personal gain.

but then why not keep going down the line, and say that the customers also doesnt care?
