> With design just being more sensitive and more overlooked area

My take is that design stopped being for the user. It's a rat race on who will make it look the most fancy or closest to whatever new trend AirBnB starts as quickly as possible. More animations, more colors, darker, lighter, let's make this transparent. Noone really thinks about UX anymore, it's all just portfolio-driven-design.

Great phrase “protfolio driven design”, together with “cv driven software engineering” they contribute to “metrics (not even profits) driven businesses”.

Did end users ever had any leverage or it was always like this, I wonder
