I don't think some people are aware an entire discipline exists within Software Engineering called HCI [1]. Is the distinction made between graphic design and ui design? I'm not so sure. But this article stinks of ignorance as to what UI design really is.

- TheThinker 15y agoDid my sentence "...and most software engineers don’t understand the value of true human factors engineering — in particular the cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction expertise that human factors engineers bring to user interface design" not show that I am aware of HCI?
- rayboyd 15y agoMost software engineers do not need a deep understanding of Human Factors as a working tool, it is a broad term covering multiple disciplines and mediums - particularly focused on physical forms. HCI is focused on computer interaction; you are discussing user interface design.
- krakensden 15y agoCitation needed. The only thing I've ever seen or heard of even /vaguely/ concerning cognitive psychology and user interfaces is bikeshedding about response time. Usually it's just: some graphic design expertise, and WoW addict like dedication to smoothing out the details.
