AliExpress is a UX nightmare. They send notifications for everything,order status, promos, God knows what else, on every channel in the same time. Whatsapp, push, email. Ffs I'll remove my account soon after I get the package and never come back.

The co-founder of landlord app Airbnb is now Chief Design Officer of the USA. And the UX commentariat cheers, because the vibes of a "seat at the table" play better than the reality: the same government that appointed Joe Gebbia has just demolished 18F, an actual design studio that did actual UX work for the USA, rather than meaningless posturing.
This is not the first time UX has made this bargain: have a seat at the table, only if you can pledge to do nothing with it.

In the ZIRP era, #UX was evangelized as a magic wand to 10x value — and after that bubble popped, UX found a niche as a delivery function. Unfortunately, optimizing our process for faster outputs over outcomes meant that #AI came and ate our lunch with instant outputs/no outcomes.
But this was no golden…

From the "Your UX is bad so you should feel bad Dept.":
The act of observing the state of your 365 subscription changes the state of your 365 subscription. Or Schrodingers's 365 subscription - until you check, the subscription is both active AND expired in superposition and by checking your subscription the waveform collapses to one of those two states. Was your subscription ever really active at all?

"Good design is intuitive" is so ingrained into the way we think and talk about the work that we often forget to ask the key question - *to whom?*
Any interface is "intuitive" to someone who is already familiar with the design patterns and the interaction techniques that it uses. Similarly, any interface is "unintuitive" when it introduces the user to new interaction techniques.

@… Awesome, thanks for sharing. I teach a 3-week ethics course for UX Designers and I use the story in similar ways.

One of the reasons I love FOSS and small commercial developers is that they don’t have teams of quasi-competitive coders and/or “product managers” who have formal incentives to make visible changes to software
E.g. Apple keeps changing their decor with apparently no real goal or concept of there being objectively better or worse visual styles. Someone made Liquid Glass & probably got a bonus for doing so. Quality of UX be damned, the look must always be fresh & new.

Fact: It is my birthday.

Everyone thinks #AI can do someone else's job. Designers want to get rid of PMs. PMs think they no longer need devs. Devs can't wait to generate designs. And managers are anticipating getting rid of us all.
Alas, in the few cases the tools work at all, they get you no more than 80% of the way there. Without experts to identify where that 20-100% gap is, you have nothing.

This kind of user-centered design was utterly baffling to the people steeped in the pre-iPhone mobile market. The shop where I’d being doing that mobile app work set out to make their iPhone app. We’d try to create clear, simple, information-focused UX that was a pleasure to •use• for its intended purpose, not just a pleasure to •look at• in a demo, and…
…we’d get pushback. Soooooo much pushback. “Can you add more graphics?” “It looks too boring!” “Shouldn’t it do something when you shake it?”

The ROI of #UX is the value of your entire company, because user research is the work that determines what problem is most valuable to solve in the first place.
Trouble is, people won't believe you if you tell them this.

I feel like there's a rule: the more expensive a piece of software is per seat, the worse the UI/UX/artwork is.
