deadelvis··on Will Linux phones stay around this time?
This totally proves the point above of programmers not having the first clue about UX design, why it's hard and makes a the whole difference. It is everything BUT "skinning".

It's about the users and their ability to understand how to work with your software to address their needs and expectations... not about your code, the designer or the manager. Those people are the product, NOT the user.

If I had a dollar for every programmer and manager that thought they knew better and stubbornly cooked up a crappy MVP nobody wanted, I would be able to fund your OSS.

deadelvis··on I made a smart watch from scratch
Congrats! Making it round was a good design decision! Who would think a square (or squircle) watch is good watch design anyway? ;)
deadelvis··on Zuckerberg set up fraudulent scheme to 'weaponise' data, court case alleges
Agree that the ability to access a user's friend's data (without said friend's permission) through the API, was a deliberate feature (not an abuse as it has been portraied) and is the interesting bit about this. Facebook deliberately abused user's privacy by deciding to monetize that feature. Only later decided to roll it back.
