My dad was trying to get a grooming appointment for his cat something that should take all of 5 minutes over the phone, checking a calendar and penciling it it, but no gotta do it through a web portal then an app, and make sure you put in your credit card number!
ofc my dad got more and more angry as even I was messing around with this crap going over fields over and over because I put in the wrong number, ugh. Bring back simple shit please.
I can speak as a professional software engineer with more than a decade in the industry: it is never the devs that push for delivering a subpar user experience. It is always a product decision made by the guys signing our paychecks
