Jesus christ do these people not understand what “Pause” means? It means my roommate just walked in and wants to discuss something. It means we’re looking at the freeze frame to see some aspect of the shot. It means the same damned collection of events should happen any time a “Pause” control’s been triggered since the invention of playback.
Why are the UX people not fighting them on this? Why does design have to be about breaking everything these days?
The UX people did have that fight. It ultimately comes down to "take your check and do it, or we can find someone who will"
So why are they taking the checks? Why not fight?
Have you worked for a mega corp?
There is no fighting this head on...but there are options for you know... Some compliance friction :)
I have worked for a mega corp. I fought bad decisions by arguing with management about bad orders.
As a tech friend once told me, “It’s your job to make them understand”
Did you always win?
Because it would still get built with our without them. At least this way, they're the ones getting the checks.
I hope they don’t call themselves “professionals” then
