Re:The Design Thinking Movement Is Absurd (2018) on Thursday July 27, 2023 @02:04PM (#36897754)
Based on over 15 years of experience as a product designer, having worked with Fortune 50 companies and having contributed to numerous successful products, I have reservations about the efficacy of design thinking. Just as there are both proficient and underperforming programmers, the same distinction exists among designers. Is it challenging to discern the difference? Absolutely. However, a process is just that — a process. What truly counts at the end of the day is the final product and the quality of communication throughout its development.

My point is, context shapes the approach in computer interaction. Certain actions like ordering Uber involve wait and load times, while others don't. Theee is no one-size-fits-all solution. The system should harmonize with the user, bridging the gap between existing conceptual models.

A more suitable comparison might be this: envision yourself at a Michelin-starred restaurant, placing an order, only to have your meal instantly served. This leads to a crucial question: would you prefer to represent the immediacy of a fast-food establishment or the meticulousness of a Michelin-starred restaurant? Ultimately, HCI aims to create solutions that mirror the conceptual models of the real world.
Robinhood's interface is much better than other financial institutions by far, It's one of the most intuitive interface design unrelated to financial products which makes it very pleasing to use. Robinhood disrupt fintech from every standpoint and we should give them credit for that. It opened the doors and allowed younger generations to invest in the stock market where other players failed terribly to do that. Bad days are happening for them in a terrible timing but I believe they will bounce back, I sure hope they do.
The design, look and feel looks like a copy of stripe's website.

Solid work they both sound exactly the same to me. The Faux Rogan is a slightly faster speaker, so it was pretty easy to differentiate between the two.
