@TechConnectify Part of this is the problem that software just kind of sucks and we haven't figured out a way to build a lot of it without making it brittle (and AI is making it worse). But even that aside, culturally, no-one who matters gives a shit. Executives want a flashy equity story. So PMs are ordered to deliver some LLM-based bullshit. Good UX, as you pointed out, is invisible. And that kind of work doesn't drive capital investment for tech firms. So the enshittification continues.

@TechConnectify In my experience working in the field, Tech Bros have nothing but utter contempt for anything that is not "one size fits all". It explains every Bad UX trend from the past 20 years. Touchscreen UIs everywhere. Web design applied to desktop apps. Chatbots replacing every form of communication. "Smart" watches more concerned with fancy screens than having a battery that lasts more than 48 hours. IDK how to fix this. Good UX just doesn't attract capital or executive attention.
