The Amazon shopping experience was actually heavily dictated by Jeff's personal viewpoints, with the (correctly stated) very talented UX designers only being able to operate within that space.
It may be state of the art, but it doesn't mean that there aren't alternative perspectives which would be equally as successful if given a shot.
- comfypotato 4y agoMy understanding is that part of the interview loop (for software engineers without significant UX experience) is to ask what can be improved about the UX. The correct answer (in the loop, from the perspective of the interviewers, according to my understanding) is “nothing; it’s as good as it could possibly be”. This doesn’t exactly agree with what you’re saying because there are potentially better alternatives outside of Jeff’s ideal (I’m not too worried about it as both of our positions are reasonable).

Personally, designers SHOULD be more restricted, the problem space itself should restrict what they are able to do, but it often times isn't. At one point someone decided the shuffle button for the iphone needed to be hidden for whatever reason. I wish the designers had been restricted by someone's personal wishes during those discussions.
