This is a great post and I completely agree, it is amusing however to note that Quora is known in the competitive programming community for having developers quite strong at algorithms, sometimes I guess that doesn't make it through to the software though.

I'd put money on the fact that those competitive programming Quora developers aren't working on the Android app. Or even on the Android/Mobile API back-end, which seems to fail frequently -- and lose information you've entered into the app, which doesn't do the obvious things like queuing up requests to be pushed later when they initially fail.
So. Much. Fail.
The Amazon Alexa/Echo app is similarly poorly programmed. Takes like 10 seconds just to boot up, which you need to do if you want to look at your shopping list -- and if the gets pushed to the background, you need to boot up the app again. Sigh.
