Getting UX right is a lot harder than people realize for several reasons: - You have the usual BigCo problems in software with prioritization and incentives and pressure to deliver new features - Front-end work is less mathematically complex and is generally undervalued by large companies that rely on complexity as a metric for difficulty/value - When you use a piece of software all day for months/years, you learn th…
> Front-end work is less mathematically complex Absurd. In general UI is more complex because of state. Primitively speaking complexity of state machine grows exponentially with every new screen, dialogue. But people often underestimate this.
I would expect that UI complexity is directly correlated with how bad the UX is.
