    The problem is time, I find. I can make good UX but I was only given the necessary time literally ONCE in the last 6 months…

    I’m so tired… I want to work in peace and quiet for once in my life.

      “Is it working?”
      “Yes, the logic is all there and it works as intended but-”
      “Then ship it.”
      “But the user experience is not yet-”
      “Ship it!”

      We all know the pain brother and in the end they will come to you and tell you that it’s not usable as is… For me the trick was convincing my boss that UI/UX is as important a part of the product as the logic. But my boss is generally the good kind, the company is just teeny tiny and so I have to do shit that I’m not as good at as my real job.

        Yea, EXACTLY my experience. “Get it working ASAP and move on to the next thing” then I’m told I’m an idiot when the feature doesn’t work how they imagined it in a dream.

        The things I would revolutionise in my company if we could communicate our thoughts to someone that doesn’t understand why nothing is ever simple in programming…
