Bad annoying design may have been imposed on the devs by idiotic management, but that doesn't excuse their failure to even implement a shitty design well. There is no reason for it to perform like dog shit, no matter how ugly management demands they make it, yet it certainly does perform like dog shit. I honestly think any devs who worked on this should think twice before admitting it on their resume, because it really does reflect poorly on them.

I've witnessed enough developers excitedly implement dark patterns and justify doing so with convoluted reasons like it improves engagement, it's good for the company, or that users will have an enhanced experience using the app, etc.
