...and we wonder these days why people have the attention span of a hyperactive gnat.? It aggravates me when they constantly make little changes to interfaces so that things that were there are either no longer there, or move a bit, or work differently.? It feels like gaslighting - I swear I did this last week, why does it not seem to work now?!?
Design it then leave it the eff alone!!? There's something to be said for panels with knobs and switches on them - people are less inclined to rearrange them for? ?...reasons...

As a consequence I've been forgetting to check and empty it as I used to do every day.
I do wish that "developers" would realize that people do *not* want the UI to change constantly.
Actaully I think it's what a lot of the kids DO want. If it looks the
same as it did yesterday, it's not "FRESH!"
I worked with some developers a few years ago that were of that
mindset. They were doing the web app and back end that talked to
firmware I was writing. The lead developer was unbelievable; his stated
position was that any API (yes, API!) that hasn't changed in the past
few weeks "isn't being updated" and is therefore "dead". Believe it or
not, it actually went downhill from there.
