Even the smallest design flaws can have a seismic effect on business. Yet product teams continually miss the little things. Why? Join me on a tour of seemingly insignificant interface design quirks (and the larger flaws behind them) that have changed history, caused mass panic, otherwise upended society, and completely ruined my sandwich.
Because software and apps are central to modern life, our day-to-day work has monumental purpose and value. We banish interface rage, help businesses save and make serious money. We keep people safe from disaster and yes, pickles.
We'll explore why small interface problems are never the whole story behind historic (or mundane) UI failures. You'll come away with a stronger sense of purpose in the smallest details and broader context of your important development work.

After this talk I walked to the fridge for a pickle. Dean, you can send them to me.

I'm confused.. so reactor 2 at three mile island was cooled by pickle brine?

[@ChristofferLund]

Fun talk. I also hate pickles

[@BryonLape]

I wonder if this is from where the ATM makers got the fees idea.

"Okay, we'll give a UX guy one shot to have a talk this year. What will it be about?" "Pickles!"

[@BryonLape]

"Far right"
