Counterpoint: winamp was strictly more fun than any other audio software

And all those Delphi programs (ok rn I can only think of the crackz but there must have been others). What made these Delphi programs so unique in their UIs?

Delphi shipped with its own, pretty complete, library of UI components.

The important point is that 2 years ago these AI tools were like 20% percentile for UX designers, today it is as good as a junior or normal UI UX Developer, 2 years from now it will be in 90th percentile, etc

And then in 2 years after what, what will happen?

99% of UX Designers will be out of the job apparently

It is actually a rational choice. It is a defense against extremely bad experiences. A personal example from a few weeks back. My SO booked a hotel for a weekend as a birthday present. We went there, it had a fantastic spa, dinner was delicious, the room great, clean, and so on. Individually designed, well thought out, friendly staff. Breakfast came around and the coffee was abysmal. Really truly abysmal. What did we…

You didn‘t talk to the hotel and asked why their coffee was so bad?

This will do as much to solve your problem as talking to Google on why a search result was bad. Even if they agreed they won't change their coffee machine while you're there and they won't rehire more skilled staff etc etc.

To prove the above person’s point, sap and salesforce have some of the most notoriously bad ux in the market and yes they make bank. Design is much harder for power user tools compared to consumer. There is far more complexity and the expectation often is users must be trained to even use the tool. Design only goes so far.

> sap and salesforce have some of the most notoriously bad ux in the market and yes they make bank. Why ? Since its so notoriously bad why have there been no attempts to improve it ?

There have been but the strength isnt in the ux. Both are effectively enterprise ruby on rails where you can customize and integrate with anything. That is also why they are sticky. They become part of core business pipelines. It is hilarious because the performance is terrible too.

My feedback for whatever it's worth as a 25yr design veteran. * Massive token usage, some small tasks burned through $50 of credits and did not offer $50 of value. * Terrible at logo work. Comically bad. This is something that is "hard" so it could add great value if it could deliver. * Repeatedly forgot prior feedback - when iterating it would re-implement prior iterations after being told why we didn't want that re…

Just curious, what $ would you have considered worth it for the output you actually got?

Homogenous design is a good thing. The internet isn't nearly homogeneous enough actually. The mid-90s desktop apps got it right and we've been regressing ever since then because web designers are like kids with crayons.

This take is the death of joy. Look up in an old city, look at the facades of the buildings. They have quirks, uniqueness, it makes the city almost a living thing. Every time we shave off another edge we lose that. Nevermind the fact that shoehorning everything into the same patterns is actually an antipattern and very good paradigms have been invented after the 90s. It's not perfect, but I'd rather have a bit of a m…

Facade are to be looked at, not to be used. Most things that are to be used in a practical manner has retained the same basic form: desks, chair, handle, cart, cup,…

If you look at Figmas stock price, it started falling right at 11 AM as this news was released. Anyways, this is 100% a shot at Figma, but also catching Lovable in the crossfire. If anybody from Anthropic is reading this, if you keep developing this with features in Figma and other design tools, you'll have a major hit on your hands.

I would love to see a day when adobe's product features come into anthropic's products
