@fasterandworse @aral "In the early days, this meant that the quality of the HTML wasn’t factored into timelines and budgets because it was extra work that didn’t change how the site looked."
I once worked with a web designer who would take compliant HTML I'd written and transform it into non-compliant HTML. As he had discovered that due to the optimizations made in the rendering engines of browsers non-compliant HTML would be rendered faster, and in his opinion this was better a UX.

@fasterandworse @aral that was an excellent read, thank you. Although I agreed with the views presented here, I couldn’t understand the basis of the problem. Is it ux designers posing as something they’re not?

> Centralised crypto products come from a community-wide UX need to obscure necessary complexity rather than create usefulness that is concrete enough to justify it. Complexity justified by usefulness is obvious in products like Blender where a terrifying interface hasn’t stopped it from becoming an industry standard. The evidence that gaining the expertise to use it will pay off is overwhelming.

Very interesting article @fasterandworse!
