Simplifying interfaces for users

[Just.A.Thought 💭 @e_galv]

My entire feed, no matter how many times I refresh it, is proof to me that people aren't only easily distracted but also so deeply repressed that any distraction from their own hardships is like an addiction they can't kick.

@mistyHarsh There are developers who look for. And then, there are Developers who develop. You clearly have been looking enough now.

@nimsdai @nimsdai Your feat is not '14 eight-thousanders in 6 months and 6 days' but 'achieving that being a Gurkha'. Gorakhnath is happy the way Gurkhas are. Fame, popularity or admiration are worthless. Courage and Truth will prevail. Brother, you have more than enough of it! Cherish!!

This statement seriously undermines my trust in Google as steward for the web platform. When did we go from "never break the web" to "yes we will break the web often and you should be prepared for it"?!

If you are not doing things the right way, you must be spending a lot of energy covering up.

The value of a #professional is not in what she "knows" but rather how fast she can learn new things and apply

So tell me, where shall I go? To the left, where nothing's right? Or to the right, where nothing's left?

Remember, all you ever need is inside you. Just don't be afraid to look.

Somebody tell the corporates, "No vulnerability, no creativity. No tolerance for failure, no innovation. It is that simple!"

Well, dreams are funny things... They can come true when you least expect it.

@mistyHarsh Don't see any readability issue with the recursion example. But yes, when we aren't used to, it can get overwhelming at times. Just keep doing it until it feels natural.

@debjitbis08 @mistyHarsh Wow! That's enlightening @debjitbis08, as usual. But hard to make out a take away. What should that interpret to a Web Front-end Engineer and to a UI Designer? I've been both, and as you said, may be not at the same time, though.

[Usable Bytes @UsableBytes]

I love User Interface Designing - but I am on the verge of starting to hate the ecosystem. The science and arts of User interface itself is complex, so everything around it should be "SIMPLE"; but it is exactly the other way around. @mistyHarsh @debjitbis08

#PrimeVideo #Netflix buggers - can I sort available movies by release date? NO. Can I search only for Hollywood movies or Regional movies and sort them by release date? NO. Why???? What is it that you don't want the consumers to do?

[Usable Bytes @UsableBytes]

@mistyHarsh @amazonIN I don't think the aim was ever to help people find what they want. Rather, woo them in buying something else.

@amazon @amazonIN For God Sake, please fix this issue!! It is driving me crazy every time I've to login. Please don't SMS verification link - send an OTP or a sign-in code. Think about Accessibility. I am on a feature phone and so are many other users. Don't assume on our behalf.

[Usable Bytes @UsableBytes]

@amazon Think about people not using smartphones before sending 'verification link' at login just because they are using Private browsing mode from computer. Or is this a trick to trouble people using Private mode? #accessibility

[Usable Bytes @UsableBytes]

@amazon @amazonIN - Please fix this problem!! It is a serious accessibility issue. I'm on a Feature Phone!! Every time you send me a login verification link over SMS, I've to forward that to somebody I trust to click on it and authorize in order to enable me use Amazon.
