My theory is that UI has the exact same problem as programming: We don't know what we're doing. - Corporate interests lead to enshitification and chasing after local maxima. - We never learn from the past, new blood comes in faster than seniority can deal with. - Trends and fashion give us comfort and a superficial feeling of (faux) improvement. - Preferring change over stability. - Vague methodologies and adages that sound good, instead of dry, actionable quality metrics. - Proliferation of bureaucracy and marketing. - Productization instead of standardization leads to a lack of foundations that can be relied upon.
