developer platforms have been increasingly adopting large amounts of empty space like social media platforms
shoving in-platform Ai adverts to try and get me to use their shitty products (I use Ai in coding, but I don't want theirs in every single little place)
The loss of a clear design language for desktop apps is also frustrating. Windows XP apps tended to use standard Windows controls, in more or less the same way. Modern apps though are all spaced out HTML/WPF CSS styled wannabe websites.
We cannot solve complexity with empty space and style sheets.

I also recently upgraded from an iPhone 13 mini to a 17, and I'm still not used to the larger screen size. Phones that can fit comfortably in your hand and pockets are in short supply. AI-"enhanced" Autocorrect can be a nightmare, especially when you're talking about niche topics, or di…
thnx for the report. Still don't understand why most web pages (including with forms!) are not static like here on HN. But instead, reload every time one tabs back to it. The energy and time wasted...
My state’s car registration renewal system is now a chatbot rather than a form.
