Version Fatigue

Posted by michael on from the everything-you-know-is-wrong dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An article in TechCentralStation introduces a useful new term: "version fatigue," which describes what happens when you get tired of learning new ways to do the same old thing with each release of software. This is something that tech designers seem insensitive to, but that drives users crazy. Maybe it's because tech designers are more anxious to be creative than to produce things that users like?"

    A52dec was rewritten 3 times, resulting in the same thing every time. Ignored rewrite #2 and just merged with rewrite #3. Going to abandon it for the next 2 rewrites and merge with the 6th rewrite.

    I mean, there's still plenty of n'Sync and Britney Spears fans!
