For years, execs and managers were able to get away with pretending to do some kind of job - and #AI has greatly accelerated their ability to pretend.
Unfortunately, that led to garbage strategy and garbage execution. The quality of #UX suffered. The stability, performance, and security of code degraded…

Kid you not, this's the actual Back button in a "What's New" page for the #Microsoft #Edge #browser. 🫨
(There's a page with tiles for new features. You go to a details page when you select a tile. That detail page has this button to return to tiles page. Note the arrow direction.)

Today I had cause to get out my old #Acorn #RISCOS 3 Style Guide to demonstrate that the fundamentals of good #UX can date back well over 30 years - same with the

Centre pages of a 1993 developer guide for producing WIMP apps on Acorn's ARM-based desktops.

Topics covered include:

- When to group radio blocks
- How to name buttons in dialogue boxes
- Using human meaningful terms
- Good error messages

It was unavoidable that this week I'd end up writing about Apple's latest blunder. But in the context of Figma's Sites bullshit and Shopify recasting designers as "artists" it's even worse than one OS making a stupid decision.
The mission of #UXdesign is being changed: orienting away from making useful products that work for everyone, and towards branding.

It is awesome that #WordPress posts can syndicate to the #Fediverse but the syndication can add some really long posts to the Fedi timeline, like 21-pages-if-you-print long. Not to mention formatting issues.
Ain't nobody reading that on Fedi. 🙂‍
