We should stop picking on normal folks. I write software for a living and, honestly, I'm over dealing with BS software. We've swung WAY too far to the "developer productivity" side of engineering and away from "consumer productivity". It's annoying and, frankly, if I have to jump through hoops, I simply choose not to anymore.
- ytpete 4y agoI didn't read that comment as picking on normal people. It's using their experience to pick on Mastodon by illustrating how its UX is more flawed than many "tech users" are able to realize from their own frame of reference.
- slfnflctd 4y agoI really thought consumer/worker interfaces would become much more efficient over time. Turns out the market doesn't care much about front line people having to go through way too many steps to perform a task except in very niche cases. The all text, green screen terminals hooked into an AS-400 were far quicker to use than the mess of mouse driven web GUI stuff (often with slow page loads on top of it), and 'discoverability' has not exactly improved a ton in the mean time. It sucks that repetitive task efficiency isn't valued more in so many situations.
