@davidaugust I'm a UI/UX designer and I'd like to also add that it depends on the target demographic of the interface as well.

If you're making an advanced/technical tool, it's ok if the UX has to be explained to someone who's never used anything like it before, because your target demographic for designing the tool is already familiar with the UI conventions of that particular niche.

There's a balance between featurefulness and discoverability that can and has to be struck for each individual project.

Just saying this because some people think every UI has to be simple and minimalistic at the expense of usefulness, while others think that every UI has to be advanced and complicated at the expense of usability.

@hazelnot Jokes are also very dependent on the target demographic. A running gag in one audience might fall flat or in some instances even get you arrested in the other. Because one audience knows or is prepared to accept something that the other can't.

UI/UX of an MRI machine will probably need some explaining to a CNC mill operator.

So, still accurate.

@drq @hazelnot @davidaugust Good design is the big red button that turns them both off in an emergency. :)
