Also, none of those kludges would have even been necessary if the project scope was properly defined from the start and the project manager didn't let the users keep trickling in new requirements without also extending the deadline.

So yeah, how dare I go back and implement something the way it should have been done the first time?

Yeah holy shit! I hope this is a made up example. A six month sprint where you change literally everything about your UI? No wonder customers are upset!

I've previously worked at a company that did that lol, but they had a toggle to turn it back to the old UI, and everyone kept switching back to using the old UI, including new customers.

To be fair the old UI was looking really dated, and needed a refresh, but it was functional and didn't really need a complete overhaul, should've just updated the style.

Nah this was niche enterprise software.

Not if the new UI consists of a single ~~close~~ button: "make whatever I want"
