I try not to make unlikable software (and features)
Read OriginalThe article is a critique of 'unlikable' software and anti-features that disrespect users. The author uses a personal experience with an airplane seatback display that forcibly overrides user settings to show advertisements as a primary example. They argue that programmers often implement features that worsen user experience for company benefit, calling this behavior disrespectful. The core message is a plea for software engineers to prioritize user experience and 'be nice to people' by resisting demands to create unpleasant or manipulative features.
