The Usability Politics
Submitted by mediumgeek on Thu, 28/02/2008 - 07:53
Working with usability is just like being in politics. If you try to make everyone happy you end up with something that nobody likes. If you try to work towards the greater good there will always be a group of people that would vote for someone else :) .
Useability corruption?
Do you end up being corrupted too? Cheating and lying, trying to save your own reputation? Are you giving promises you know you can't or won't fulfil? Are you catching up on other people's comments and ideas, pretending they're your own?
(Cynical? Who's cynical?)
Corruption? Oh yeah!
Probably! I would like to believe that I have managed to stay uncorrupted so far thanks to me only being partially a usability person. It might be going down the drain though. I am moving over to a fulltime usability position so who knows :D Muahahah
