What we see here is the drawback of Agile and Scrum specifically. For what release frequency is Agile/Scrum still relevant?
How much is too much? They can develop on a sprint schedule, but they don't have to release after every sprint...
It's getting to a point where it's becoming a stereotype of itself. Every new half feature is good enough for pushing a release.
That's why I'll always prefer Lean over Agile.

Call me old fashioned, but I don't think I would've been as excited about html5 if I knew this would be the outcome.
We were sold on killing flash and silverlight with the bonus of some canvas tech demos. We compromised by allowing DRM extensions for the browser. Now the browser is much bigger to compensate for added functionality and javascript performance needs. We have heavy webapps in and out of the browser encouraged because it's standard functionality rather than relying on a plugin. You can't even fully block autoplay videos the way you could force plugins to be click-to-play. With WebExtensions, we run javascript to prevent other javascript from running.
No other piece of desktop software commits itself to this kind of release schedule. It used to be 6 months of only bugfixes from your distro and an external repo for people who want bleeding edge, and now it's a flatpak/snap because it's not really worth trying to package that kind of moving target otherwise.

We've been swindled by Google into helping them with their power grab. The "modern" web is a scam and an anti-pattern.Last edited by 60Hz; 05 March 2021, 02:54 AM.
