“We don’t have a UX Team. If the problem

with your service is that the servers are slow

and the UX Team can’t change that, then

they aren’t in control of the user experience

and they shouldn’t be called the user

experience team.”

current document”

DeviceLightEvent = ? lux

LightLevelEvent = dim | normal | bright

(Approximate levels of dim: < 50 lux, normal: 50 - 10000 lux, bright: > 10000 lux)

The only way is ethics

“A Dark Pattern is a type of user interface that appears to have been carefully crafted

to trick users into doing things, such as buying insurance with their purchase or

signing up for recurring bills.”

- darkpatterns.org

“ It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me. ”

- Batman

Change is hard (but it’s also good)
