Why do we have such shit UI where it is more difficult to use? I'm sick of the flat look, with having no idea what is a button or a link.

Everything is bundled together with no separation, tabs, buttons, and lists touch each other and you have no idea where the boundaries are until you click it. Or the use of icons that I have no idea what they mean until after I click it.

What we have is a BUI, Brutalist User Interface with this "minimalism" design. I miss the days of having some skeuomorphism.

kind of like a prosperous country being re-normed to its invaders preferences eh?

We have to design stupid now too. I cannot tell you how many times I've created a perfectly good page for inputting some simple business task, like verifying an address on a map, or selecting a type of equipment from a list based on a customer tier.

Example: a form with name, address, one dropdown for a type of hardware, and a checkbox that says 'show unsupported hardware' meaning to allow the user to manuever our edge cases that use equipment that technically isnt supported for them (we dont want a call to the devs everytime they need to wiggle around this, so we let em do it, and it works)

Now I just described a form that youve never seen. I am confident you could be given a set of data and enter it in without issue.

None of the 10 year employees at my work can, I have explained it sooo many times, given pictures, video walkthrus where you can hear me laugh at how simple it is. They cannot do it. The whole world is full retard. I'm scared.

They can't think. If you can think, you can understand how what you described is a natural bottleneck of information that handles all cases. When you can't think, you can't transform anything, just fill things out in a rote way.

I suspect this is the truth of it.

Doesnt make ya very popular when you tell em tho...
