the base issue is whoever’s doing the ux can be overruled by anyone in marketing or product if making number go up is at stake

every annoying nag feature has like two dozen people inside the company who tried to stop it from happening but failed because they don’t have a mba and therefore aren’t worth the real decision makers’ time to listen to

The real problem here is that strictly speaking under capitalism that number is literally all that matters. Companies exist to make money -- anything that doesn't make money number go up gets loving trashed and rightfully so.

This is probably overwhelmingly responsible for pretty much every single programming shittiness that we have ever had to touch.

webpages that immediately revert to their useless "mobile" layout the moment the browser window is less than 1000 px wide

whats 1920/2 precious?

To be fair there aren't many tools in webdev to know what is a mobile browser and what isn't, and generally speaking pixel sizing on phones has got dense enough that it's becoming difficult. Like my current phone is 1440 pixels width, which is way more than the laptop I was using up until October 2021

But having something like a flag which is sent from the browser to the site requires everyone to agree, which, lmao
