What I love most about UI design trends is when an app gets stuck in a previous UI era and you can clock it immediately. You all are familiar with seeing a Bootstrap or Material app still in the wild and enjoying a laugh at their expense, but I frequently work in apps that predate those by 5-15 years.

The Pneumatic Elevator (TIL this is a proper noun!) is why it's approx 2x the market $$.

The post I meant to write, and then meant again to write a follow up yesterday before my body decided to have a multi-system failure, was:
When progressives get moralistic they fail because they are playing the same hateful game the fashies are, and those folks have centuries of experience.
In my experience, if you give the other grace, you allow hope, and inspire loyalty.
It's difficult because so many of them are truly awful, often literally murderous, people.
Who still get grace.
