This is why engs don't make great product designers. They are concerned with the very important foundation and performance, which doesn't leave much cognitive overhead for the actual UX.
a consumer product will not be competitive without both the foundation and the experience being top notch.
- nstj 10y agoA perfectly reasonable observation but I'm sure there have to be counterexamples of engineers who are great product designers. Now I just have to go and find them :)
- mozumder 10y agoPerformance is UX.
- wittedhaddock 10y agoFor iOS, we have a product that automatically makes many improvements to load times and latency to allow engineers to focus on UX/UI rather than low level perf like so many do http://createwithcaffeine.com http://createwithcaffeine.com
- tsunamifury 10y agowhy not just let the designers focus on that.
- wittedhaddock 10y agoThey totally can. Main point is that we free up all engineering hours otherwise spent on optimizing performance.
