Hacker News debates whether UX redesigns are just promotion grabs
Original: Ask HN: How can we stop UX people from changing UIs to get promotions?
A question on Hacker News asks how companies can stop UX designers from changing user interfaces mainly to secure promotions. The poster suggests that frequent, self-serving redesigns hurt users and that design changes are often driven by career incentives rather than actual usability improvements. Commenters on the thread are discussing whether this is a real incentive problem in tech companies.
Why now: Frustration with constant, unnecessary app and website redesigns is a widespread complaint among tech users and workers.
