Why do companies hype redesigns so much ... I know it's for stupid people to be impressed with. But ultimately it just created a new learning curve for long time users of the application.
What happened to "if it ain't broke don't fix it"?
Hard to justify you're job when all you do is manage a team that does non-visible minor tweaks and improvements that affects like 3% of the user base.
Maintenance isn't constant growth, gotta redesign.
If netflix are embracing new technology (maybe something that allows 1080p playback on any browser, instead of just chrome) and the changes required are significant enough, then a redesign incorporating the big lessons learned from the current design make sense.
Also it creates better morale in house letting people be creative, come up with new stuff, not having to only maintain the old shit that someone else made years ago and you think is less than optimal
But what happens when everyone hates the design? How's that for morale?
