Only if that less code and less design expresses more

I agree the loss of who works on what is poor - but it's always been hard to tell mine vs yours - I am a bit annoyed but on mature reflection I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and see them iterate out

The equivalent to 'less code' is more likely to be 'less pixels' rather than 'less design'. Design isn't neccesarily just excess flourish.
