Bad UX, repeated enough, becomes familiar, becomes the default, becomes the standard

@aakashgupta You could see this chart as AI replacing jobs but I think the more accurate interpretation is that AI spending is masking an economic downturn.

The most undervalued asset in business is user experience. Invest in design.

[Andrew @coyleandrew]

Great design is not about decoration or cleverness. It’s about shaping technology to fit human intuition. I just finished writing an article on the invisible language of good design https://t.co/gyrmJyUdll

I wrote a comprehensive guide to the types of data visualizations employed in user interfaces. I hope it’s helpful in your work! https://t.co/MYq62KyifA

Most AI products fail because they start with the model, not the human.

The paradox: the more powerful the AI, the more confusing the product becomes if you skip understanding people.

Designers who treat human insight as the scarce input—and AI as the abundant output—will build products that matter.

[Andrew @coyleandrew]

The most powerful UX move in AI is showing uncertainty, not hiding it.

[Andrew @coyleandrew]

Good design feels invisible because it lets the task take center stage. When the interface draws attention to itself, it steals focus from the outcome the user actually cares about.

@jornvandijk @Nasdaq Framer is so good. It’s the best product out there.

[Andrew @coyleandrew]

@PalmerLuckey Are you sure you didn’t go a little overboard with design with this one?

[Andrew @coyleandrew]

We optimized for search engines for 20 years. Now we have to optimize for generative engines. I wrote about GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and why every site needs an llms.txt file. https://t.co/4LDir0ammY

Are we overestimating AI?

Did the AI chat agent unlock a surge of growth that’s hitting a plateau?

Was it the UI not the model?

@joulee @ojoshe @ryolu_ The Shakers weren’t trying to make something beautiful. They were stripping away ornamentation and focusing purely on utility—and beauty emerged as a byproduct.

@madewithgsap @greensock This looks so awesome 🤩

@soho_ca Sometimes is better to start over before it's burnt

[Andrew @coyleandrew]

Keep prompting and let the AI cook

Time for pendulum to swing back.

@mont3rje I have! I plan to post them on my YouTube channel (https://t.co/GnLOaMwdM9). I love video essays. Do you have any recommendations on how to create them or what they could look like?

[Andrew @coyleandrew]

We're living through The Great The Cognitive Load Crisis. Attention is scarce and most software wastes it.
