Completely agree on fuck mass adoption (or I should say aiming for it) and meanwhile completely disagree on remaining lazy with UX. I'm a nerd and want beautiful easy to use tools
Discussion
UX should be perfected by the people that willingly want to use a tool, not the potential mass adoption normies or the proverbial grandma.
Any reasonable product designer will target people who willingly want to use the tool first and try to make it easier for others on the fence.
It's certainly a nuanced discussion and there are tradeoffs. Is making it normie-friendly making it less effective as a freedom tool?
