User Interface as an API for Humans

Small problem with this... article is talking about something that most large companies usually have a design team, if not a user experience team, doing the work of designing the human experience. Developers typically just get specs to implement. So unfortunately this analogy would not reach the UX/Design people, since in general that role doesn't require depth knowledge on API standards.

Having experience in both, this is certainly a huge pain point in the industry. UX is mostly approached through stats and A/B tests, but I think it should have much more data structures and algorithms (i.e. component types in design, composable components, etc)
