I talk a lot about how “empathy” in commercial UX is mostly a posture because in reality capitalism doesn’t care, but it’s important to consider the additional problem of people in charge who are too shallow to be capable of understanding “why” some people prefer, or need, to do things differently than they do.

This one time I was telling the ceo/founder of a startup I worked for that our react app was making my new macbook pro crawl and we need to fix that because it was a b2b product that would be used by people in finance offices decked out with dell opticrap machines. He responded with surprise “wow, steve. you really care about people don’t you?”

I was kinda floored. Anyway, here we are…

      What are you trying to say? That twitter doesn’t have enough money to develop in a modern design system? It’s not a matter of BS mythical 10x developers. Although according to elon all the non 10xers were fired I guess.

        I’m guessing they are using a client that tags people automatically. Mastodon client does this. I have no idea what the posts are saying though.

          I really don’t care why they did it, it’s just annoying to get a notification that someone I wasn’t talking to replied to someone else I wasn’t talking too.

          Pretty safe bet I don’t want to see anything else they need to say.

            Well, I guess, but it’s pretty understandable if they are using a client that is trying to copy the default Mastodon client behavior for some reason. Just sayin.
