MODERATORS
Marketing departments love to make a huge deal out of this kind of thing, because they only see the big number improvement and don't really understand that this was just some dev's Wednesday afternoon.
I mean, it’s still really impressive upgrade even if technically it was a simple change, they are right to make a fuss about the change
And they are right to do so. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter how much time you spend on a problem. It's the result that matters. I remember a meme where a dev would place a "wait" function in a new feature. Than remove the wait call and call it a free update and get lots of praise from the customer.
