Without intending to offend anyone, but 1 game changer called it "mind blowing" and perhaps for him it was. That's his right. And yes, ONE guru spent time working on this for a bit just for laughs instead of doing "the things we want", but I'm actually happy to know some gurus like their job and colleagues enough to do a little more than is necessary, to play around with stuff, to just have fun at work. Because although you may think this is stupid, it's usually when we deviate a little that we come up with some really good stuff.
Idk, I enjoyed seeing them have fun, because it's still a job, after all. And it'd suck if you could never have a laugh. They didn't take any serious resources "away" from other teams just to make this feature. It was one person. Having fun. And sharing the results with us instead of keeping it to themselves, which is what they could've decided to do as well. At least this way, his fun made some people happy. What's the harm in that, especially if we were specifically told not to get hyped. Maybe sometimes, we should learn to relax a little.
Again, no offence.
