It’s funny how google and other sites just can’t imagine a world where people don’t want their crap.
I’ve been in product design meetings where it seems product managers earnestly say “it’s better for users, so we’ll just prompt them until they realize it’s a good idea.” It was odd to have a conversation where they couldn’t contemplate user wishes contrary to their own.
- JohnFen 3y agoThis is a pet peeve of mine. You even see the same thing expressed in the comments on HN from time to time. Underpinning the mindset is the idea that users are idiots who are incapable of perceiving the unvarnished brilliance of devs and PMs. When, more usually, it's that the devs and PMs aren't understanding something that's very important to users.
