The state of design is in shambles. Every designer out there is heavily influenced by trends and frameworks. No one uses tables anymore even for legitimate uses. So much excess whitespace everywhere (Discourse forums vs. phpBB for example). Infinite scroll. Dark mode everywhere (hard to read text) and general copy-cat behavior from designers. Every website today looks like Stripe, every startup has a magenta theme, gradients are back (even Apple embraced it). What the fuck are designers doing without understanding the fundamentals of unobtrusive design? What happened to the principles laid out the Otl Aicher, Muller-brockmann, Anton Stankowski, Elliot Noyes and the likes - what we call the International Design movement? I absolutely hate design of everything today. And the designers. And their ecosystems and frameworks. Javascript is the worst programming language of all. The whole thing reeks of amateurs running around making the world a noisier place. Google's own design page doesn't meet their performance test. Last I checked, it scored 55/100. Who is Google(and their designers) to tell the world how to design things? In science, we have to write papers, provide data and get the work peer reviewed. In design, you just publish and the louder one gets heard. Sigh.
