In two years as VP of Engineering at Reddit he grew the engineering team from 35 to 170 and led the major initiative to redesign and re-architect the 13-year-old site.

The redesign that everyone, including me, hates with a passion? I continuously have to revert to the old design, the new design is horrible.
Is it just me or did UIs just start getting worse at some point? I just take it for granted that every redesign will somehow reduce features while increasing clutter.
Reddit was minimal and I could safely browse it during down time at work without too much suspicion, that's also what I like about Hacker News, the new design is hard to conceal at work.

I don't mind the UI, I just wish they didn't hate their own website so much. It seems like they just want everyone to use the app, for some reason.
I love it. Reddit was fugly before.
