I Tweet about technology, software development and UX (mostly bad UX). Half of what I say is meaningless. Please don't follow me. You will be bored.

This is more than just a regular #UXFailure since people's health (and in some cases, lives) are at risk. Quaker is recalling products due to potential Salmonella poisoning and is directing customers to a non-existent website.

Today mark's the 6 year anniversary of when the FCC destroyed the Internet by revoking net neutrality. Sadly, nobody will even see this because, well, the Internet was destroyed. #NetNeutrality

Oh, and if you follow the directions, clicking the link just brings you back to this error page.

Apparently, @Fidelity hasn't updated this page in 16 years.

Is it just me or shouldn't FB have 2 versions of the laughing emoticon? One to indicate whether someone's laughing with you and another for when someone's laughing at you? Big difference. #uxdesign

Here's another #UX fail. This is a screenshot of an e-mail I just got. Apparently, Audible (an Amazon company) is doing production testing and accidentally sent out an email to their customers. I wonder how many other users just got this same email?

[JP @JamesPragit]

Ugh. Trying to buy a ticket to the Star Wars: Rogue One IMAX rerelease and @Fandango gives me a 500 server error. Well, at least I know what web server technology that they're using (based on the error message) but I want my ticket purchase to go through. #ServerFail

[JP @JamesPragit]

Here's another #UXFail, LastPass's new autocomplete icons are too big to fit inside smaller textboxes and you can't see the what's inside the textbox.

@wheatonparks I have tickets to the concert tonight at Memorial Park but may have COVID. What's your policy on COVID?

[JP @JamesPragit]

@JJT12380 Thanks!

Old National Bank bought out First Midwest Bank and virtually nothing is working: can't login, can't reset password, can't request username, 400 server errors and if you try to call them, the wait is more than 60 minutes and they don't offer to call you back. #PoorUX

15 years ago today, Apple released the iPhone and the world was never the same again.

[JP @JamesPragit]

Be careful what you Tweet.

I just discovered this website, https://t.co/uwtNV7Ck99. Apparently, it’s a dating service for green singles. But check this out. Their website says that you can meet your “conscious” partner. I think that they really mean “conscientious”. Big difference. #EpicFail

[JP @JamesPragit]

Windows Security just notified me that it has nothing to notify me of. #PoorUX

Science is neither liberal nor conservative nor libertarian. It is simply a methodology for understanding the universe using experimentation and observational evidence. #ProScienceLibertarian

[JP @JamesPragit]

Last night, I watched The Conjuring and the Presidential Debate. I'm not sure which one was scarier.

[JP @JamesPragit]

Kudos to https://t.co/8dM31QdWDX for the best password UX I've seen by clearly telling you the requirements, and if you don't meet one, tells us which one.

[JP @JamesPragit]

Never underestimate the importance of security.

I've been saying for years that automatically expiring passwords was a bad security practice, and now Microsoft agrees.
