> [..] I have never in my life had so much smoke blown up my ass in the process of an ostensibly (partially) technical discussion. Very harsh words but I'm afraid I have to agree. That article doesn't really tell you what UX design is. Back on university I attended an interactive systems class, which was very focused on UI and UX design. I found it to be rather vague and everything but precise in definition. I believe UX is a very blown term these days anyway, just as I believe "design" is an inflated term. What I want is a precise definition of good UX, that doesn't feel like "make it idiot-proof". Disclaimer: I make no claims whatsoever to be good at UX design. Actually, I couldn't care less. I'm one of those weird code monkeys who favour function over everything else. Maybe that's what UNIX made me to be ;)
