No matter how many developers you get, you're never going to have a good product if the guy calling the shots won't allow it. I'm confident that the developers working on Reddit probably know damn well that their product is trash and there's nothing they can do about it because their job isn't "make a good site" its "do what your boss tells you to do"

I've been a developer for awhile and you would be surprised how many companies can't get out of their own way to improve their products.

This is so true it hurts.

That's absolutely right, I'm not a developer, I'm a UX/UI designer. I recently had a contract where the contractor slaughtered my initial design to the point where I almost started to hate it, but I was bound by contract to finish it.

If reddit wants, their developer can absolutely build a top notch app.
