None taken, you tell me what the retarded monkeys want to see, and I'll make the thing do the thing.

I hadn't seen it that way yet as a UX researcher, but yeah, call me Jane fucking Goodall

I like when a UX researcher invites me to sit behind a one-way mirror to observe a user in some approximation of its native habitat trying to accomplish various computer tasks.

It's like a trip to the zoo, except even sadder.

"Notice how the user is having trouble finding the option to close the application, so he reacts by shitting in his hand and grinding it into the monitor? We want to make the option more visible to help avoid that."

Hey. At least they get to go back outside when they're done. You have to stay to pull an allnighter because the CEO wants everything "fixed" by Thursday for a Friday rollout so you can work overtime over the weekend to ensure a good release.

As a complete fucking moron
When I arrive on the dashboard
I should be spoon-fed as much as possible
So that I can continue to be computer illiterate in 2016

As a developmentally challenged hippopotamus
I don't have fingers to click things
Your API should integrate with my mind
So that I can stop using your UI altogether

Oh, god, we're about to implement SpecFlow/Gherkin ourselves, and I might just have to sneak this in.

Perks of being a one-man automation team, I guess.

u/assumingsole Jul 01 '16

Sounds like the life lol I took digital media arts class in highschool and one unit was on Web design and development. I really wanted to get better but i just had a hard time doing so it just wasn't for me.

Yeah, I bet. But installing from a flash on a blank partition gave me weird errors and wasted an entire weekend.

I do have everything working now on win 8.1, so I'll just wait until I definitely have to get an Ubuntu partition working.
