All the morals in the world are meaningless when there is no agency.
I’ve yet to find a UX team I’ve worked on with enough political capital to win any conversation which results in a net-decrease in profits, regardless of the ultimate benefit.
Too many quarter to quarter direction to overcome the profits-today-at-all-costs momentum which grips management.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoYup. I have my differences of opinion with most UI/UX teams I worked with (in particular, I don't buy the trend of making software as easy as possible at all costs; it leads to dumbing down and reduced utility). But I'm not blaming UX people for this. They have as much to say in this topic as developers about third-party JS bloat - i.e. we can all complain all we want, out of practicality or morality, and ultimately the decisionmakers don't care.
