You guys have designers??
My buddy works with a big government org and they just let the engineers/SW devs "handle" all the design on their own. Sometimes they get kinda lucky and the dev took one or two UI/UX course back in school, but regardless they end up with a bunch of software that's all utility, no usability.
As a software engineer, if its utility is high then so is its usability.
As a front-end dev, I disagree. You can make something optimized for utility from multiple perspectives. It might be for power users or for the ability to see as much data in one place, or even to change and configure as many things as possible. But these approaches don't necessarily make it user friendly. Sometimes the most usable flow requires deoptimization.
Have you seen the old SAP UIs? Lots of utility. Complicated as hell usability.
I guess there’s a reason I run Linux - I can make it work the way /I/ want it to - and not some way somebody at Microsoft thinks I want it to.
As someone who maintains old software and is looking for a new job, you seem to be indicating I should be a back end dev lol
