It can be so worth it. Sometimes I'm stressing about this great nebulous cloud of bullshit that just seems insurmountable and existential, but then when I explain it to someone, it's like... 3 things. And yeah, those things may legitimately be a source of stress, but knowing that they are finite and number, and probably solvable, makes daily life a lot less daunting.
hey sometimes your chest just feels like there's a great weight crushing you crushing you from above and the walls are closing in and you're scared and you just sit there stupidly not wanting to make a fuss but knowing absolutely knowing that this is it this is how it all ends--oh and then it kind of passes and you get back on shift and get in trouble for being slow, but it's alright at least you're alive
It is dumb as hell yeah. Well, probably smart in a business sense, because it's an excuse to collect more minute-by-minute user metrics for a seemingly innocent purpose (when really you know it's just going to be gamed to crank up engagement, and trick people into spending money - ie marketing)
Not hard to extrapolate a case from this. Imagine a landlord refusing to rent because you're a "scorpio" or an employer turning you down because they're looking for a "dog" person.
Man I used to think there was no relation between what I ate and my wardrobe size, but eventually it really does catch up with you, especially if your day job is sedentary.
I'm assuming there's a downside, like you have to commit to whatever thing you were planning before the flip. So like I say I'm going to slap a cop, and then I flip the coin, hoping for the best.
Maybe the effect only lasts until you look which side of the coin came up - so you won't know how it will go until you've tried it. :D
Software Engineers and UX/UI Designers need a code of ethics, like yesterday.
Yes, business is ultimately to blame, but those folks are beyond saving - they will never ever ever put the brakes on an initiative that could make more money legally. Unless there's blowback from an ethics board / professionals in charge of implementing their dark patterns.
