To be honest, maybe i'm in the minority, but I don't want my tech/UI/designed stuff to have 'personality'. I want it to fade into the background as if it isn't there so i can get on and live my life.
I want it to be simple, to get out of my way and do what it is supposed to do. I feel like the world and particularly tech products are overwhelmingly noisy.
I yearn for everything to be more simple. Less notifications, less ads, lets annoyance. Don't take over or interrupt my life, enhance it with functionality then get out of the way. I don't want it to have a 'personality'

It has to go, the notifications, the ballons, the updates and other busy work simulators. GUI goes grey, the various empty real estate modes are turned off. Then i try to protect the environment i created from the damage the original creators can do. Take a snapshot, kick the VMs Network driver if needs be. If something has annoying sound adds, i rather rip the sounddriver out of my phone then let it play loud - even in the background. Nobody is taking my attention hostage, i learned programming to turn my devices into servants of myself. Any coup by others will be meet with brutal punishment, and if it annoys me enough, that punishment will be available to others as a crack. On my ideal workstation, your GUI designers starve and your bloat programmers hunger.
