I'm a little overwhelmed at the responses to that last article, thanks all.
Sometimes I think my writing skews too rant-y. But, I took some time to consider why that is. I (and I think a lot of others judging from the responses) have spent probably the last 10 years or so feeling a little gaslighted by our industry. Especially if your works leans further on the UI side, you've probably been feeling that way for a while. I have. So that's what I want to write about at this point in time.
