- CRConrad 5y agoDifference being, the software (at least more or less) works; what's annoying people is the usability and consistency of the UI[1]. Designers deserve to be laughed out of the room; developers don't. ___ [1]: Until they get their shit in order, designers can kiss my ass for their pretentious "UX" claptrap. The actual experience is only max-half interface, min-half functionality. Where the latter is provided by lowly coders.
- Arainach 5y agoTo design the core UX for a system, you should understand its userbase. If you're stuck in a paradigm where there are documents instead of applications, where closing things doesn't terminate them, and where the default switching hotkey doesn't allow you to switch between windows of the same application, it affects how you perceive the whole system and puts you at odds with your user base.
- vijucat 5y agoHi, the equivalent here is not a UX designer telling a developer how to code, but rather telling the developer their code does not work. For example, "Hi, I clicked delete in Windows Explorer, but the file was not deleted". This is just user feedback.
