A lot of smaller shops don’t have dedicated designers. The devs do the design work, too.

- duxup 4y agoThat's where I'm at... but of course we don't have footers of doom, because we won't. So that's kinda moot as far as all the internet "don't do this" proclamations go. I suspect the really bad stuff comes from places other than the developers.

- duxup 4y agoI think there’s a big difference between unintuitive and the footer thing.
- wtallis 4y agoA lot of UIs designed by developers without going through a real design phase end up only making sense if you already have a mental model that more or less matches how the software works under the hood—the easiest UI to implement is usually one that doesn't provide any abstraction over the inner workings. So you end up with a steep learning curve, but software that is usable once you understand it. That's entirely different from a software feature whose design makes it literally impossible to use.
