I Guess It's Cheaper To Give Away Games? Their Business Makes No Sense To Me

I Guess It's Cheaper To Give Away Games? Their Business Makes No Sense To Me
Epic Games out here playing 4D chess with their launcher. They'll throw millions at free AAA games to get you hooked on their platform, but ask them to implement a shopping cart or cloud saves? Nah, that's too expensive apparently. It's the classic startup playbook: burn investor cash on user acquisition while the actual product experience stays in beta for years. Why fix the UX when you can just buy user loyalty with free copies of GTA V? Their launcher still feels like an Electron app someone built during a weekend hackathon, but hey, at least the free games library is chef's kiss. Product managers everywhere are taking notes: features that cost dev time and improve user experience? Hard pass. Throwing money at marketing stunts that bleed cash? Real stuff right there.

Password

Password
So you're telling me my password needs 20 characters, uppercase, lowercase, a number, special characters, a kanji, a hieroglyph, the 100th digit of pi, AND the first codon of my DNA... but sure, let me just click "Sign up with Google" instead. Security theater at its finest. They make you jump through hoops like you're protecting nuclear launch codes when you're just trying to sign up for a random SaaS tool you'll forget about in two weeks. Meanwhile, they'll probably store it in plaintext anyway. The real kicker? That "Sign up with Google" button that makes all those requirements completely pointless. Why even bother with the password field at this point?

Someone Needs To Do Better

Someone Needs To Do Better
The classic "desire path" phenomenon strikes again! While designers meticulously crafted that beautiful tiled walkway with perfect right angles, users said "nope" and blazed their own dirt trail straight to their destination. It's the physical manifestation of what happens when you spend weeks building a sophisticated UI with 17 different options, only for users to desperately search for the "skip this nonsense" button. The dirt path is basically a giant middle finger to your architecture diagrams.

Inside Me There Are Two Wolves: UX Edition

Inside Me There Are Two Wolves: UX Edition
The eternal UX battle raging in every developer's soul. One side wants to build intuitive interfaces that your grandmother could navigate. The other side thinks users should suffer through raw SQL queries because "it builds character." Meanwhile, the product manager is crying in the corner while users are submitting support tickets asking what "SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0" means.

Ultimate Random Password Generator

Ultimate Random Password Generator
When your password requirements include "must contain at least one character floating in the void of space." Who needs fancy password generators when you can just smash your keyboard while having an existential crisis? This is basically what happens when security experts say "make it random" and developers take it literally . Good luck remembering which cosmic 'X' you clicked on during account creation. Password hint: "It's that one letter... you know... somewhere in the universe."

The Unholy Trinity: Frontend, Backend, And The Designer

The Unholy Trinity: Frontend, Backend, And The Designer
The eternal frontend vs backend war continues! Frontend devs claim their job is harder while backend devs silently judge them. Then suddenly, the UX designer enters the chat and everyone runs for their lives. Nothing says "I've made a terrible career choice" quite like trying to center a div while simultaneously satisfying the designer who just had another "brilliant" idea involving parallax scrolling and microinteractions that "shouldn't be too hard to implement." The circle of blame is complete!

The User Will Know How To Use It

The User Will Know How To Use It
Developer: "The interface is super intuitive." Meanwhile, the user is trying to enter the doghouse through the roof because nobody bothered with a user manual or tooltips. Happens every sprint when UX design is an afterthought and the PM is breathing down your neck about deadlines. The real intuitive interface was the friends we confused along the way.
