UI engineers should be like vaccines. If they do their job well, you should never see why they were needed.


That so many do not see why vaccines are needed is a serious problem.


Sure, but what is happening here is basically the equivalent of us engineering current-vaccine resistant viruses, along with new vaccines, and releasing them all together, so that people know vaccines are important and are forced to get new vaccines to be safe.

We shouldn't do that, in the same way we shouldn't make sure people know UI is important by changing it completely every n years.
