hi all,
i'm reminded of DOET:
https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/books-recommends/#design_of_everyday_things
A great book about designing for usability. Instead of covering software, it
covers everyday things like doors, taps or phones, and why or why not they make
sense. This book is amusing, insightful, and makes a very good read.
One of the central themes of the book is that users of these tools tend to
blame themselves for being unable to use the tools easily, while the fault is
in fact in the tools, because they lack usability and are designed badly.
+1000, I love that book and it's very relevant here. There's definitely
something wrong with the tool if someone experienced was able to make
this kind of mistake with it.
As someone who submitted a talk, I found the input form to be rather
cumbersome.
