I've been calling the thinking of the parent "trickle-down devonomics": that by making the code better for the user, the benefits will trickle down to the users. Obviously, as the name suggests, that never happens. Devs get the quality of life and users end up paying for our disregard.

Loved the analogy. Also tracks with the fact that devs hold all the power in the user x dev relationship.

> that by making the code better for the user,

Did you mean the dev?

Users can "vote with their feet (or wallet)"... Sometimes.
Sorry, yes I did.
