Analyzing usability metrics is not in the purview of a developer typically, especially not for random tech tools.

Analyzing usability metrics is not in the purview of a developer typically, especially not for random tech tools.
- bryans 5y agoWhat a ridiculously untrue and narrow-minded statement. If you've only worked at companies where you're one tiny cog amidst ten thousand employees, sure, you may have a designer or psychologist who specializes in UI/UX analysis. However, that does not describe the VAST MAJORITY of tech teams, and frankly, any frontend developer who isn't analyzing their output or at least taking a moment to think "hey, maybe 39 scrolls is too much for this task," doesn't really care about or understand what they're doing.
- austinthetaco 5y agoI specialize in working with startups and small development teams getting their tech stack up and running or fixing growing pains. I must have worked with hundreds of teams at this point, and not once has it been standard fair. You are MASSIVELY conflating noticing a UI inconsistency with analyzing usability metrics, the two things aren't even in the same arena, and the fact that you would compare the two gives me the idea that you may be on the more junior side.
