We’ve created an economy where that is not sustainable.
This fact is bad imo, but it’s where we are.
Comment on What if we added a social component like "Stories" to this calculator app?

You don’t understand! If you don’t keep adding new features, people will stop using your app!
Who wants simple apps that just work as intended, am I right?

The actual problem is if you don’t add new features, there’s nothing for people to do beyond maintenance and you aren’t going to keep good developers to only stick around for that.
So your option is new features or a new app entirely, but coming up with other good apps isn’t easy and is a huge risk.
So if you actually did good market research and spoke to users, you could find new features to add.

Get out of here with these facts and work on that UI redesign we’re due to ship next year.

You mean the one that no one asked for, makes it harder to do the primary thing the app is designed to do, and all the involved developers have told management it’s a bad idea with a detailed list of why?

The UNIX Tools Philosophy is that tools should do one thing, and they should do it well.
I wish more things followed this philosophy.

Along with the even older philosophy of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
