This is truly disturbing. Your work as a frontend engineer must center the user, not your preferences and comfort zone.https://twitter.com/MrChrisseuh/status/1236723266380869634 …

As with most frontend disasters, I see much of this boil down to disengaged management. It's up to TLs, eng managers, and PMs to set the terms of success such that they favour the user.

Putting and users first is invariably good for business. However, being the user's advocate is sometimes uncomfortable. Good managers reflect the needs of folks *not* in the room.

Sometimes it's fully situational ethics, though. If your developer experience and tooling allow you to move 2x faster by punting on, say, ALL MOBILE USERS, this can in fact be the correct choice for your business that desperately needs more features.

Absolutely! And good managers can make that choice explicit for/to the business. I observe most folks post-hoc rationalising lower reach, tho.
