Overenhancement

Read Original

This article discusses the concept of 'overenhancement' in web development, where well-intentioned UI/UX improvements like hamburger menus and tabbed interfaces can actually make websites harder to use. It argues for simplicity and careful consideration before implementing enhancements, using real-world examples and referencing Dijkstra's views on complexity.
