Perfection is not a requirement. It's a nice article.
I refuse to be critical of something just because it's not the epitome of function that solves all the problems in UX design education.
- paulojreis 11y agoMy point is not perfection, it's usefulness. Telling a pilot not to crash a plane wouldn't result in a "nice" or useful article.
- adevguy 11y agoExcept the article is not "don't crash the plane", it's more like "here's a few things to keep in mind while you're flying". And sure, to an experienced pilot "keep an eye on your instruments" is obvious and not very useful. To a rookie however, it's perfectly valid advice.
- calinet6 11y agoWell, you and I can disagree on the usefulness of this article then. By that analogy, I see quite a few concrete and "useful" details on how not to crash the plane, here. It's just a nice summary of some common errors, with suggestions on how to avoid them. It's not the end-all utility to stop them from happening, but it's a good high level view.
- paulojreis 11y agoWithout even a single reference to "get to know your users"? Sorry, but no. It's not a nice summary; it's actually what I wouldn't give to students or someone wanting to get a grasp on UX. This kind of "guidelines-based" approach is detrimental to UX, as it enforces the idea of focusing on details instead of considering UX as a whole.
- voik 11y agoYou seem to be conflating UX and UI. The article is no more than the title promises; principles of a good UI.
