Do devs care what users want?

Maybe the have an idealized vision of people using browsers on mobile, which would be cool, but actually is a shitty experience in general

I just think most devs, at least those I’ve encountered here, are more interested in their own pet projects instead of actually what users want and need. That’s cool and all for them. Sucks for the users though.

Money talk. Pay someone to do the job or settle.

Make something worth someone else paying for 🤷‍♂️

Not really. If users have money and you need some of it, then it’s incumbent upon you to provide something worth paying for, not the other way around.

It's not possible to know what users want, therefore developers should work on what they think will good.

But even if it was possible, if it was known that users wanted a _bad_ thing, should developers work on that anyway? Or should they instead work on a _good_ thing?

“It’s not possible to know what users want…”

That’s where so many devs here go wrong.

huge difference between what users think thay want and what they really want.

I understand that you want gifs 😂 But you need to understand that if it's that easy to do, it would have been done already.

25+ years in the business and rarely saw a good idea from an "user". Businesses tend to generate good use cases. Let the devs handle the implementation.

You’re simply proving my point with your replies 🤷‍♂️

do you have gifs?
