How do you decide when to prioritize infrastructure versus when to prioritize user facing experience?
It's a difficult balance because podcasting apps are quite developed at this point and there's a long list of features that users expect - but building these out doesn't necessarily help adoption of the newer features like Boosts.
Ultimately we should always prioritise user experience - but sometimes that does require a lot of infrastructure work for example the new library architecture also enables us to serve live streams.
