The Chips and Pickle Story: What's Really Behind Infamous, Historic UI Failures?
Even the smallest design flaws can have a seismic effect on business. Yet product teams continually miss the little things. Why? Join me on a tour of seemingly insignificant interface design quirks (and the larger flaws behind them) that have changed history, caused mass panic, otherwise upended society, and completely ruined my sandwich.
We'll explore why small interface problems are never the whole story behind historic (or mundane) UI failures. You'll come away with a stronger sense of purpose in the smallest details and broader context of your important development work.
