The next chapter of the Microsoft–OpenAI partnership

Any speculation on why none of them can make a UI and UX that is not 100% completely shit and makes you feel miserable and stressed out?

Couldn’t they just throw money at the problem? Or fire the criminals who designed it?

All the cloud platforms do not care about UI/UX at all. Although GCP gets honorable mention for being pretty consistent and I have to admit not too bad. But anyway none of them care because it’s expected that 90% of the usage of the platform will be via a CLI or some abstraction (k8s, terraform, etc etc). So, they put minimum effort into UI quality, usefulness, consistency, appearance. That’s my understanding anyway

a) Design is super hard when your product MUST do a lot (and GCP definitely has to do a lot)

b) You design for the audience. The complexity that person-who-would-ever-use-GCP will deal with is far beyond what the average internet user would ever endure.
