LinkedIn revamped its notifications management with some dark UX patterns. It now takes 100 clicks to disable all email notifications. Frustrating, unnecessary, and user-hostile 🤮 #UXfail #DarkPatterns

I’m at Stanford and I research software engineering productivity.
We have data on the performance of >50k engineers from 100s of companies.
Inspired by @deedydas, our research shows:

Here are some of those companies:

Μία εικόνα, χίλιες λέξεις. Άλλο ένα τραγικό και ταυτόχρονα εξοργιστικό περιστατικό. Άλλη μια φορά που το κράτος εμφανίζεται σαθρό στη γύμνια του και απολύτως ανεπαρκές στο να εκτελέσει τις βασικές υποχρεώσεις του απέναντι στους πολίτες. Ως πότε;

Κάθε χρόνο τα ίδια. Κοιτάμε το δέντρο και χάνουμε το δάσος. Αν συγκρίνουμε με τις χώρες της Ν. Ευρώπης, βλέπουμε μία μικρή πρόσφατη βελτίωση σε ένα μεγάλο διαχρονικό πρόβλημα.

Almost all founders learn brutal lessons during the first year, but some learn them much more quickly. Obviously those founders are more likely to succeed. So it could be a useful heuristic to ask, say 6 to 12 months in, "Have we learned our brutal lesson yet?"

Good things can come up out of Greek tech. Congrats to the team and investors.
