@RobotDeathSquad at worst, we spent over a decade building the Internet, then deserted it for (double meaning deliberate) merely flashy apps
-
@RobotDeathSquad at best, it’s a phase before people realize they’ve been hoodwinked, and standards-based mechanisms like browsers catch up
-
@RobotDeathSquad The spectacle is in lieu of any real value specific to apps as containers and loses the value of the larger jnternet fabric
-
@RobotDeathSquad Right now, apps are like flash – a transitional proprietary container mainly used to deliver spectacular content.
-
@magneticnorth UX has been through that. This is more serious – obviating / contravening your core values b/c you’re ‘in the spotlight’.
-
@magneticnorth I’d uplevel ‘engineering’ to ‘product making’ or even ‘providing offerings’ but yes in spirit. Be coherent or be assimilated.
-
@semanticwill maybe not the right word. But there needs to be more to the core of the field than providing monetizable value to the business
-
@semanticwill otherwise it’s just window -dressing-for-hire at a fundamental level. Nothing wrong with that as a business, but it’s shallow.
-
@semanticwill can you expand a bit? I’m suggesting UX needs something like autochthonous values to be long-term viable.
-
Ten years from now, something else will be the new source of spectacle in service of business goals. UX will be a secondary concern at best.
