Poor Users
Ah, the classic UI vs UX distinction illustrated perfectly! On the left, we have UI (User Interface) - pretty toys dangling above a crib that make designers and stakeholders squeal "I love it!" while the actual user (the baby) is completely ignored. Meanwhile, on the right, we have UX (User Experience) - where the user is literally strapped to a medieval torture device and spun around like a rotisserie chicken. Because nothing says "we care about your experience" like making you dizzy, disoriented, and ready to vomit. This is basically every "redesigned" app after the UX team decides to "improve" the workflow you finally got used to.

Backend Dev Designed UI
When the backend dev says "I'll handle the UI this time" and delivers a postal truck parked in a circular water feature. Function over form at its finest! The backend mindset is fully operational here—technically it works, has an API (actual physical interface), and meets all the requirements in the spec. No CSS animations needed, just raw utility with zero regard for user experience. Bonus points for the vehicle ID being formatted like a database primary key (CP20009). Ship it!

Good User Interface And User Experience
Ah, the classic courtroom drama where the programmer is on trial while the user screams into a tiny "Software" microphone! The real crime? That UI design that made perfect sense to the dev but left users completely baffled. The programmer sits there thinking "but I added tooltips!" while the user is ready to testify about the emotional damage caused by that impossible-to-find settings menu. Let's be honest - we've all built interfaces that were perfectly logical... to absolutely no one but ourselves.
