The Long Game of Enterprise UX: Research, Change, Adoption
Enterprise tools are ugly, hard to use, and nobody cares. Or do they? 2,000 people use the tool I work on every single day to do their job. They care. And they deserve better. I bet you have users like that too. Users you keep deprioritizing because “it’s internal.” I’ll take you through a real case study: the full redesign of an 18-year-old enterprise tool. Research methods, design …
Design system contracts: the component lives in neither Figma nor code
A design system exists twice at once. It is in Figma as components, and it is in code as the real thing engineers ship. Those two are supposed to be the same. They never quite stay that way.You change a button in one place. Someone forgets to change it in the other, and they slowly drift apart. A few weeks later, a designer builds a screen with the old button, an engineer builds it with the new …

No, People Don’t Want More AI In Their Life
Many companies assume everyone craves new AI features. But the reality is that most people don’t want more AI — at least not in the way most AI leaders envision it. Brought to you by Design Patterns For AI Interfaces, friendly video courses on UX and design patterns by Vitaly.
AI systems are demanding new interaction models. Are designers ready?
For decades, most software interactions have worked the same way. You open applications, close them, drag files into folders, click through menus, move between windows…That’s the desktop metaphor, software designed to feel like a physical workspace. Mobile touch and the web brought their own interaction models, but the desktop set much of the grammar, and it still defines how people move …
Designers are sharpening knives for the wrong fight
A few weeks ago I sat on a call with a company that had spent two and a half years and four design iterations building and re-building a product. About forty minutes in, one of their engineers chimed in and echoed a mantra I’ve said many times and one that plenty of people smarter than me have shouted for decades because its the most important mantra in the world of creating products: just …
Towards demystifying the creativity of diffusion models
We show that a diffusion model’s creativity (its ability to generate novel data, rather than just memorize its training set) is a mathematical consequence of neural networks learning a “smoothed” version of the score function, driving the model to interpolate between training data points along the hidden data manifold.

Introduction: The Allure and Pitfalls of Three.js ‘Scroll Me’ Websites Three.js “scroll me” websites are digital marvels—visually stunning, pushing the boundaries of what web design can achieve.

Symfony UX 3.0: A Component-First Frontend for PHP Developers
When the Symfony team shipped UX 3.0 on April 13, 2026, they did something that major version bumps rarely do cleanly: they used the opportunity to remove things. Not just deprecated APIs, but entire packages that had quietly become dead weight over the 2.x cycle. The result is a leaner, more opinionated frontend toolkit that finally treats Live Components as the primary story rather than a bonus …
The UX trick that finally got me to clean up 20,000 photos
Disclosure: I work within the Opennomos ecosystem, which is how I came across the app mentioned here. No affiliate links, no sponsorship — just a genuine UX observation. The hardest part of a boring task is almost never the task. It’s the interaction model. I sat on ~20,000 photos for about two years. Screenshots, near-duplicate food shots, three-second videos of nothing. Every few months I’d …

Page Speed Optimization Techniques That Improve SEO, UX and Conversions
Slow websites don’t crash. They bleed out through tiny delays. Effective Page Speed Optimization stops this silent conversion killer dead in its tracks. Over the last decade, I have audited hundreds of platforms, and the story is always the same. A hero image hangs in digital limbo while the headline loads. A user taps the mobile menu and waits just long enough to wonder if their browser …
“It Works” Is Not “It’s Done”: UX Bugs Your QA Process Is Missing – DEV Community
A few months ago, I was running QA on a fintech platform a customer-facing portal where businesses fund a wallet and spend from it. Every wallet feature passed testing. Deposits credited correctly. Transactions deducted correctly. The ledger balanced to the kobo. There was just one problem: nowhere in the portal could a user see their wallet balance. Not on the dashboard. Not on the wallet …
Who made this, Designing excuses, DesignOps in the age of AI
“That question didn’t exist not that long ago; and now, it’s becoming less obvious to answer (at least in some cases). As consumers, we evaluated creative work on its quality and the overall outcome. We have rarely been given access to the work’s process or “behind the scenes” knowledge.But can you blame people (myself included)? Now that we’re in a world where almost anything can …
Researching What Changes: UX Methods for AI Systems That Learn Over Time
This article covers three practical approaches for studying agentic AI when the system’s behavior is a moving target. Trust is inherently longitudinal over time. A snapshot study capturing the moment alone describes almost nothing about how the relationship is changing, which misses the evolving relationship arc. The author discusses using modified diary studies, longitudinal trust measurement, …
