I hate both sides. Rapid development loops should be just that, development. Bug fixes are fine because they tend to guarantee functional consistency and no UI/Ux changes (unless it's fixing one that was broken).

Today it's just the wild west of people basically having production not far sepeeate from development in terms of changes. UI/UX changes are the worst in this context. I opened Venmo the other day and I had to waste 5 minutes because someone decided they wanted to change the UI and I had auto updates applied (shame on me I suppose).

Do not change the interfaces with your users folks unless it's truly broken.

It's a hyper competitive space. That's the equivalent of waiting 20 minutes in line for an ice cream you don't really want all that much. Skip.

You may have more patience and composure but most of everyone is sifting through countless activities in a day. 99% ill close the tab than wait for a 5 minute update for an activity im not getting paid to do.

If each of ten million users wasted five minutes, Venmo just scrapped 100 years of human effort because they were bored.
