ha! Very same experience here, too. I was just working at a place where one of the designer-founders redesigned a page to look one way. Then three months later, he redesigned it again, to look back the old way. He actually put these into the pipeline, assigned it to different engineers, and there was no reasoning over choosing one way or the other. Both designs had the same functionality and the same glaring flaws. He just kept wavering and wouldn't even consider doing any user testing or A/B testing on it. Glad I don't work there anymore.
- Benjammer 10y ago+1 for designer-founders mocking up & assigning UI changes purely to "keep things fresh"
- sqldba 10y agoI think that's what goes on with the Azure portal.

- gravity13 10y agoFunny thing was this place did espouse "test everything" except it came in the form of our Product leads "test only the things I don't agree with." Which of course meant we were using all of our testing budget on dumb things.
