Shame On UI

When you say way too much and not enough at the same time.

At least tell somebody why they should bother signing up, @sugarfish.

Meta post: The site has migrated to our own host since Twitter (sic) has become too much of a cesspool for this blog to be credibly hosted on it. And it's not like its UI was ever good.

So here we are.

Hope to see you around. 👋

I wonder how long it will take for companies to realize that running infrastructure on @Windows is almost always the wrong answer. @ElectrifyAm

The "Click here" anti-pattern still runs rampant. How about some descriptive links, @MyGlendale?

What's really being asked here?

"Question marks are fine, but exclamation points go too far. And circumflexes. We're not savages." - @USAGov

Oh sure - the advertised price has magically changed in the last 5 minutes since you first showed it to me 🤨. Dirty tactics, @Expedia...

"I'm sorry, I couldn't sign your contract because I was stuck in a refresh loop" @FormstackSign

Oh really, @Microsoft? How about you shut the fuck up and mind your own business?

Another total anti-pattern: preventing users from pasting text in password fields.

Making it hard for users to use strong passwords and password managers makes your site less secure, @Assurant.
