Simple, intuitive and functional will always prevail.

Proof that UX designers should just vanish from existence
microsoft pats themselves on the back for the dumbest shit
Reminder it's been repeatedly proven that Dave lies about what he worked on.
no one would low on x
You guys are missing the point. That interface has not changed and still is as functional as it needs to be. Web browser developers should take a lesson from it.
If they did nobody would have jobs.

there is no qrd
that anon is just making stuff up
After he left Microsoft he started selling adware for windows to the point and after a couple of years he was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for false and intrusive advertising.

Yeah
Modern "UX/UI" designers are all bootcampers, largely women, with an eye for aesthetics but very little ability in HCI. There was a flood of these as the field lacks credentials, hiring maturity, and is hard to evaluate throug interviews.
Trust me when I say good UX designers (HCI Experts, Interaction Designers) are worth a shitload to a product team. Indeed, their very objective is to produce and verify designs simple, intuitive, and functional.
This is harder to achieve than you might think. As a product gains features, users, and use cases, the number of viable designs increases exponentially. There may even be an optimal design, but it will always come with some tradeoff like not catering to some niche usergroup perfectly. The design at global maxima does not necessarily make everyone happy. You could get around this with making a different design that people can switch to, but that'll be hard to concince a PM of and annoying to maintain.
Not least, you need someone to bat for accessibility, especially in web and with our ageing population.
i know plenty of UXers who just rode the COVID money wave to early retirement... the point is just keep doing stuff and get better at selling yourself. This will keep you employed and if a wave arrives in your discipline you will make gold. if it doesn't, you still lived doing stuff.
for example embedded guys never got sufficiently paid as compared to swe in the ZIRP . now they at least have opportunities to make good money.

You’re right, but they’re rarely ever hired and the ones that get in, get in through nepotism and cronyism. OP and his ilk keep making this thread to suggest HCI is a sham, which it isn’t. It’s arguably the most gate kept position in this industry
So it's this asshats fault that formatting a MicroSD card or an USB stick to be FAT32 is such a pain in the ass these days?
back when whites were cool
Huh? It shows whites being NO BETTER than pajeets and their hindu software.
30 year and the button to restore device defaults is still misaligned. Are Microsoft even trying? Genuinely maddening how shit their UIs are, even KDE is more thoughtfully designed.
most UX designer don't event do UX.
WHEN WAS LAST TIME A UX DESIGNER MADE A BENCHMARK???
today designers just pull out crap out of their arse, pain on a canvas with it and call it a day
I like it, it's functional and intuitive.
What I don't like is how Windows has dozens of different UX/UI languages for different parts of the OS.
Windows 11 has a nice UX/UI design overall, but for each software that uses it there are a ton of older ones that didn't get an update with it.
>center aligned task bar
opinion discarded.
That's the thing with windows. Ever since 8.0 tried shifting everything to mobile focus, all the parts of the UI that HAVEN'T changed much are the ones that are the best. Device manager, Event viewer, control panel, format tool. They're just better, more logically laid out, and more accessible than the garbage they try to replace it with.
>entire article is just paraphrasing a shitty humblebragging tweet and padding the word count
Don't post here again.
Why does "Capacity" have a colon after it but none of the other options do?
And why has nobody corrected this for the last 30 years?
When something works why frick with it? This case it does what it needs to do as it is just fine. This lesson should be taken to heart by more OS/software developers. Don't frick with shit if it works.
