UI backwards compatibility

Read Original

The author argues against UI changes that break user muscle memory, citing examples from Zulip (altered newline and private message behavior) and Facebook (reversed hide/save actions). These are compared to the confusing design of a bagel shop's door, illustrating how poor design forces users to adapt to counter-intuitive interfaces, often blaming themselves for errors.
