This totally proves the point above of programmers not having the first clue about UX design, why it's hard and makes a the whole difference. It is everything BUT "skinning".

It's about the users and their ability to understand how to work with your software to address their needs and expectations... not about your code, the designer or the manager. Those people are the product, NOT the user.

If I had a dollar for every programmer and manager that thought they knew better and stubbornly cooked up a crappy MVP nobody wanted, I would be able to fund your OSS.

To be fair, GP said "but also skinning isn't quite the same as doing ux."

If there's an OSS funded by developers cooking up crappy unwanted MVPs, I want in.

Right now I have ten crappy MVPs to donate and can put down $20 to sponsor others. I could probably have another 5 MVPs out within the next week if work is slow.

Here's a user script to get rid of AMP (I use it with adguard): https://userscripts.adtidy.org/release/disable-amp/1.0/disab...

Congrats! Making it round was a good design decision! Who would think a square (or squircle) watch is good watch design anyway? ;)

Agree that the ability to access a user's friend's data (without said friend's permission) through the API, was a deliberate feature (not an abuse as it has been portraied) and is the interesting bit about this. Facebook deliberately abused user's privacy by deciding to monetize that feature. Only later decided to roll it back.

You should really try the original that book is based on: Between Parent and Child - H. G. Ginott

Not a collab resource but the best resource I know of: Between Parent and Child - H. G. Ginott

Thanks for your recommendation!
