developers that are so in love with their helpful feature X, that they ram it down your throat
There is a maturity problem in our industry. As in, the developers and product managers are a bit on the emotionally immature side, and have less ability to put themselves in an other person's shoes, when that other person has different goals.
I also use the Netflix streaming service with a Roku. As part of their ongoing campaign to convince me this is a mistake, the Netflix app auto updates itself from time to time.
This feature shuts off the screen without the user asking for it to shut off. What could possibly go wrong?
