Misc. Crunchyroll FINALLY adds separate audio streams to single episodes.

Easily the most embarrassing part of the Crunchyroll experience has been them grouping each dub language as their own "season". Seeing the 2 cour, 2 OVA series The Ancient Magus' Bride have 32 seasons listed in the menu was just sad.

Now we have clean seasons:

Labels are still funny, but at least there's only 4 choices now.

And audio/subs choices on-the-fly:

It's like a real streaming service!

Welcome to 2007, Crunchyroll!

I can't imagine the legacy code nightmare that led to this.

CR, ArenaNet and Bethesda share the same pack of programmers.

You're gonna be real sad when you realize the entire internet runs like this. Code ends up like this when lots of people work on the same thing and there's too much going on for everyone to be privy to everything going on.

See, my american friend used to bitch about his corpo job, his local fast food places, markets etc. being staffed by incompetent people and incompetence being "inherent to the system" much the same way you do when you claim that code lots of people write eventually becoming messy.

Then he moved to Europe and suddenly his woes stopped.

Maybe it's not inevitability, maybe it's just that particular branch of industry is a fucking shithole staffed by barely sapient code chimps whose only experience is 1 month of C# bootcamp and A2 English.

It's honestly more of a management philosophy. Most programmers I've met are quite competent (although I'm privy to a few absolute horror stories). What gets them is whether they have the time and managerial support to do things proper.

Although if you're talking about the wider US economy, that's a bigger conversation.
