Just FYI, UX goes way beyond affordances. That aside, there's a reason that most of us advocate various methods of testing as part of the process.

I can't speak for them, but we do know that big forms are intimidating and tend to induce the feeling of, "Ugh, I don't have time for this now." Even though there are technically more steps, they are unambiguous, digestible and feature a cl

Perspective is a powerful thing. How things looks depends a lot on where you sit. Makes me wonder how this concept can be applied to more Earthly affairs.

Now I need a letter apologizing about the finish chipping off and the total lack of cases in the marketplace.

You don't have to subscribe wholesale to either approach, and there are lot of ways to combine elements of all-of-the-above when the situation calls for it. I like the idea of digital brutalism - celebrating the materials, if you will - but

I know this isn't a real answer, but I say: fuck estimating. I'd much rather have my team focus on good on-the-fly prioritization, recovery from rabbit holes, spiking efficiently, smart dependency engineering and building fully featured sto
