Is it my imagination or are the developers who write user interfaces in 2024 completely retarded?

Don't know, I don't talk to them. Why so?

Yes

Just the Javascript ones.

It started since some years ago. Low contrast. Plain and flat interface. Simple icons.

you know, UI, UX, and graphical design are not important because being dev is just about writting code and nothing else

I'm a FE dev & designer at my local company and our designs are just terrible. Every time, the designs goes to the CEO and he suggest things to be changed for the worse & a lot of worse. :D

@retoor you talk to me :(

Frontenders are social people who code for a purpose.

Backends are idiots who code because nobody like them.

We write user interfaces but we don’t necessarily design them.
I also noticed the new fad with low contrast, 50 shades of grey designs.

@mostr4am yeah, but you have much potential to become a designer one day

@retoor I'd rather join ISIS

@retoor designing might be harder than we frontenders realize but it feels like sometimes we could make a much better job, especially when considering how much time we spend arguing with designers about their designs 😂

@mostr4am ideologically you already have :)

@mostr4am not sure if that pays better but at least you're allowed to hit women

@Lensflare WE frontenders? Wow wow wow.

15 years ago was fun, frontenders kinda start existing and whatever it was, it was never their job, always designer or dev. No idea what they did back in the day. The validation regex for inputs? That they now have to work so hard is karma

@Lensflare not really. Isis are reactionaries nazis.

But of course asking your autistic dumbass to think further than "we good dem bad" is obviously a dream.

@retoor well, I was using the exclusive We. :)

I forgot where I read or watched it, but some languages have two different words for We.

The exclusive We means "Me and some others, but not you".
The inclusive We means "Me and you and possibly some others".

Companies hire UI devs. They need something to do. Turns out, UI dev isn't that hard. Redesign to look busy. Repeat.

@Lensflare there is also sarcastic "we". Like "we" are going to fix this. Really meaning I. Because nobody else is gonna help.

There there is a the pee wee.

@Demolishun my favorite is the false-we: For example when a football fan says that "we won". You haven't won anything, you were sitting in your couch, screaming at your tv.
