I agree. This line of work long ago was just "web designer", but it evolved. It'll evolve again.

[@climbingworkouts]

UX is just web design with a new name and after the amputation of the technical skills (HTML/CSS/JS). I used to do wireframes, flows, diagrams and all the UX stuff as a web designer without that much hype. Today as a UX lead I can do all those abstractions but can also code and do front end design directly. Making those designs come to life without depending on any one else.

[@t20sgrunt36]

UX isn’t ever going to be over, but the specialized role can easily be replaced or filled in by others. It’s been handled by web Designers, Online marketers, and automation experts for years. UX had always been that grey area of those 3 roles, what add a forth who can’t do as much as the other roles.

UX is a fascinating field that can take you in so many directions, I started out many years ago working mainly in visuals, over time I got more into research, the business side of things and that led me into product strategy...never stop learning, never stop growing.

[@andrefauri7336]

I agree that a lot of the steps of the UX process can really be optimized or replaced by new technologies, but there's always a strategy and thinking part that I don't see replacing yet, even by AI. For instance, if you're redoing a financial dashboard, you need to choose which data to show and how, knowing what the users need and how they feel about that screen. After make some decisions you can use ready components to speed up the final screen, but the thinking behind it for me is the true value we can offer. Just copy and paste an entire screen and switching the font/color is cheap UX in my opinion. I mean, you can do that to launch something faster, but building a real product over time that grows and serve a specific audience for a specific purpose is another game.

[@Fresh_Guy]

Yes the industry is evolving, In the 80s, a designer who could use the computer is a highly sorted one. The design industry as a whole is one of the most evolved, one could literally see it move very fast because it has a strong tie with technology. For as long as humans exist, there would always be design needs which is where the designer comes in handy. With the way things are going, in the short term, human to human interaction is greatly reducing and being replaced by interfaces which needs the skills of the designers. Ai is another tool for designers to use to improve their quality of work. As humans evolve, design needs will increase to meet the demand. Designers only need to be smart, creative and open to learning to cope with the changes. My Opinion.

Nah, don't worry much about it bro, yes, part of the industry is going to bots, specially the designers who only do what the clients ask but for a strategical designer, the ones who understanding branding, marketing strategy, how to make their brand get better, SEO (for UI Designer), UX Strategy overall, etc, it will always have space on the market, so it's important to go after the strategical part of the design and not only know how to develop beautiful things.

[@ik9126]

You described everything that I've thought recently about my new UX career! All of sudden I felt the death of the design: everything is made using templates, speed is the priority, working hours are less and less. I see how what I'm doing in Figma now will be done by AI maybe already next year. I loved this profession , but I guess it's over for me. I just don't feel excited anymore and the future prospects of this career (I'm working in a Junior role) are extremely uncertain.

[@MalewiczHype]

I feel you, most of what I'm seeing is also not that exciting for me anymore - but there are cases in which true craft is still needed and useful - and at some point those highly templatized businesses will be hit with lots of boring users switching to products that offer some delight. Not all is lost yet :)

Yeah, and it's funny to see how many UXers are scared by it and try to deny that happening - but they know it and they see it. Nobody does research anymore except for a couple big corpos. Most companies copy entire flows (before any UI) from other apps. It's nowhere close to the UX hype of 2009.

This video provides a somewhat lackluster experience, but it's crucial to acknowledge that I might not be its intended audience. The design has clearly achieved its intended impact. The bold use of the word 'Over' in a striking red font, reminiscent of blood, delves into the psychology of color, invoking the negativity bias. The visual representation of a red line with two sharp drops mirrors stock market volatility, further emphasizing negativity. Elon Musk's presence, hovering with a black shirt, capitalizes on his reputation as a somewhat eccentric figure in the business world, tapping into a learned negativity bias. Despite its slightly outdated approach, the video proves effective, culminating in a pitch for a sale at the end. However, at the end of the day, Contant is still king

I was kinda worried from the title, but everything you are saying is what I thought everyone assumed. I thought UX was all about being a creative problem solver and also being able to translate those solutions into great designs. Or am I missing something?

Despite many UXers were trying to defend their positions/importance/seats on the table, I think what Michal shared here is legit and it’s already happening. Take Canvas as an example. Businesses love Canvas and Designers despise of it (look at those memes about Ai PSD vs Canvas). Isn’t that someone feel threatened of their worth? Imagine you’re a tech entrepreneur and you want to build a product. Who is the first person you wanna partner with? A designer or an engineer? If you have to choose one. As a UXer, I didn’t mean to devalue design. Like what Michal said, our mindset needs to evolve and our skill sets need to keep up. Design is more than just delivering tangible outputs. It’s about engineering solutions to solve problems.

Diversify your skillset into things such as development & business because those areas are bolstered by 'design thinking'. As the videos states you'll spend less time drawing rectangles for things such as detailed mockups and way more time offering solutions (often via well-presented written docs or even digital whiteboards) in key areas that you can have profound influence over (at any point in development or business decision/sale lifecycles). Your design thinking is the angle that your working peers aren't coming in at when attacking the problems).

@looksmatteronly For example, if I have development skills/knowledge, not only can I have better conversations with the dev team, but I can work on 'tickets' & contribute to the repo whilst design may need to take a back seat for a short while... I can also write technical design documentation (Scss, css animation, grid system etc etc). I could suggest new frameworks (from a design/front-end perspective). I can then take this even further (because I understand our chosen framework & its limitations). I could propose a new SaaS app to help the business achieve a certain goal, providing realistic deadlines & expectations, including resources to aid in bringing it to life... (not just an app mockup) All this 👆 because I chose to diversify into the development space It's hard to get across via a YT comment. Hope this helps a little!

Be careful when you say "everyone goes with simple templatized UI kits". Came into some places doing that, and their designs still were horrid and not user friendly.

[@MalewiczHype]

Oh but that's also part of the point - the quality is declining because companies want CHEAP and FAST, not GOOD. So generally it's all going towards lower quality almost across the board. Small number of brands are going the other direction.

A new modern UI era is coming. The new UX era would be additional to it

[@1234kingconan]

lol I did not know the story of the X logo that is hilarious.

[@amirhosseinhosseinzadeh7627]

So you still think it's worth starting a career in UX?

[@MarinaAlmeidadesign]

Funny to show X as an exemple because most people don’t like the logo for a reason 😂 maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think it’s successful rebranding

[@MalewiczHype]

The thing is that it doesn't matter if it's a good brand or not, it's already adopted and it shows other CEO's that you CAN do stuff like that, potentially face some backlash, ignore it and grow the brand. They launched creator payouts almost immediately after and it seems like X/twitter is doing better despite those bad decisions. That's moslty my point here - that what elon does disregarding a design process (whether it's branding or UX or otherwise) can lead to a domino effect the more successful his actions become.

[@nikvist]

Wanna make a bet on that?

[@MalewiczHype]

watch what the video is about first ;)

[@nikvist]

@@MalewiczHype Or don't use clickbaity, fearmongering titles ;)

[@MalewiczHype]

I understand why you may feel that way but that title is 100% true. The UX as an industry (as we know it now) won't exist in two years. And it's nothing new - I've been talking about it at least since 2019. It's shrinking and the UX role is being diminished. That doesn't mean designers won't exist or that things will now have bad UX - we just reached a tipping point.

[@vishalchandrajwar]

​@@MalewiczHype is this video about product designer?

[@imjawads]

Good one vlog 👍 what’s your take on about AI tools that generate website with text prompts that are threat?

[@satisfiedcustomer]

I think UX is simply evolving than anything. No harm meant but those with just design backgrounds arent as desirable as they once were in the older days. When you think of user centered you think of a person. A person with backgrounds in cognitive psychology, psychology, anthropology, etc really any of the social sciences is gonna have a signicantly better understanding of human behavior than a designer duh right? Taking it a step further to train a cognitive psy major with bootcamps or a few college courses the overall basics of UX design and give them a internship train them in the company culture, and move them up the ladder is going to be significantly easier than training a art/design background major on complex human psychology. Thats the shift that i am seeing. Its not pretty but it is what it is.

[@georgepanicker61916]

Bootcamps don't teach anything valuable. The difference between uni and bootcamps is night and day. Most cog science people don't know anything about design

[@ArslanAli-pu1ju]

How can AI understand needs of user and ok if user tells AI its need then u will have multiple needs from users how will AI be able to prioritise those needs? Let's not forget AI is made by human and not vice versa

[@MalewiczHype]

it's not about AI and currently "needs of users" aren't a priority to any business.

Woohoo so exciting! So, I don't have the "bundle" per se, but I own both courses; will I still be eligible to get the new course for free? Either way, very excited to take this one! Thank you for all your guidance, Michal!

[@すべてに興味を失う]

Don't just be a designer; be a developer too! I do both and make 120K/year while working only 25 hours per week :D

[@MalewiczHype]

That is one of the good paths yes

[@looksmatteronly]

What languages do you recommend learning

[@すべてに興味を失う]

@@looksmatteronly The answer depends on various factors. If your focus is on web UI, JavaScript becomes essential. On the other hand, if mobile development is your goal, a stronger interest in Dart, Kotlin, and Swift is necessary. Remember, coding skills constitute only a small portion of a developer's responsibilities. It's crucial to grasp the entire ecosystem you're operating within. Starting from scratch, I believe mastering JavaScript is a pivotal initial stride as it imparts fundamental programming concepts, DOM and BOM manipulation, and the bedrock principles of web development. Once you've accomplished this, you'll have the liberty to explore and learn according to your preferences.

[@jdassonval]

Curious about this video. Looks a lot like a clickbait (before watching the video). Let’s see after the video is live 🧐

[@MalewiczHype]

The problem with it is that it's true - so sorry that it sounds clickbaity but the industry is shrinking. UX will exist in 2025, designers will exist in 2025. The UX "industry" however - not so much.

[@jdassonval]

@@MalewiczHype thanks, i’m in the web for more than 15 years, it was « ergonomics » when I started, so the field changes, becomes more complex but the core remains (i guess you know the book from Jesse James Garett)

[@MalewiczHype]

@@jdassonval Yes, I'm not saying there will be no UX principles applied to products in the future. I'm saying the industry is shrinking and its importance being minimized in favor of safe, boring, predictable (jakobs law but to 100th degree) processes. And for that the industry doesn't need as many people anymore.

[@jdassonval]

@@MalewiczHype I totally agree with that. Too many ppl (bootcamps and shitty kind of schools are responsible for that).

Hi Im currently in university I'm in my first year CSE with Data science student. I've always been tempted with the idea of being a UI UX Designer is it possible for me to choose UI UX Design for masters was also thinking about getting a certification in it. Possible?

[@MalewiczHype]

Yes, but don't rely on certificates - almost no employers care about those. They want a portfolio that is engaging and interesting first and foremost - and good UI ;)

[@channel1channelone]

Not the best of your videos - b/c it is clickbait, not b/c of the content - it is an important and serious topic but your whole demeanor about this and sales pitch at the just give a bad taste..

[@walkbikedrive1749]

cheap and fast ai tools if the effect is same as paying so much for a human designer. you would too. only logical.

[@AlberXR]

Does this analysis apply for spacial devices?

[@MalewiczHype]

In a way, as I feel like that will be design-systemized faster than other areas and very quickly there's going to be less people needed in that space (and only highly specialized ones)

[@AlberXR]

@@MalewiczHype I suppose that as we are at the beginning of the mainstream era of spatial-devices, we need to figure out all UX patterns before getting to a point of culmination, as it is happening with screen flat devices.

[@ojaswiagarwal2960]

@MalewiczHype Hi, I just started learning the Google UX course because I have been intrigued by UX design recently. Should I continue to learn UX design and then get some experience in UX and continue with the other points mentioned in your video? A response would be life changing. Thanks.

[@MalewiczHype]

google course is still great way to start - I made a whole roadmap video where I talk about it - it’s pinned to the channel page

[@ojaswiagarwal2960]

@@MalewiczHype thanks for the little vote of confidence. I'll have a look at it, thanks.

[@vineetboyle]

I love these type of videos that challenge the status quo. But respectfully, please don't say 'UX is over' at the start of the video and thumbnail and then proceed to give an example of Twitter or X's 'LOGO' redesign project. Of course it's part of the 'experience' but that's mostly about Branding if we're talking specifics. I agree UX design as a space is getting a bit stagnant and people are relying on ready made design systems for UI etc. However, one needs to realise that a lot of problems have been solved by UX to such an extent that there's no need for a new UX designer to work on them. They can just copy the industry best practice. Because UX designers have already cracked the code on so many Product problems. However, till the time there's going to be product innovation, there are going to be newer problems to solve for UXers and it might be called something else (Product designer/Owner etc.) but UX in it's core will never die. Because Product and Services innovations are never going to die. Unless there's an apocalypse of course :)

[@MalewiczHype]

The branding example was a high level "design" example, not related to UX but rather seeing how "things are being done" now and how others will emulate elon. Same thing will happen with MANY processes, including focusing on way more developers and much less designers. I'll do part 2 of this specifically about UX (only) as many senior designers from the US reached out with A LOT of examples of how their work is being now downgraded and less important.

[@fatimaibrahimux]

Always sharing great tips on what to focus on ^^ Although I don't see a problem if someone is focusing on mastering a design tool, Figma or anything else, as long as they know the fundamentals and can use any other tool at any time if a project needed it.

[@MalewiczHype]

It's good to have design tools nailed to be able to do stuff in them, but it's going too far for most people - into obsessive categories.

[@Titan-pp9jz]

what do you think about adam wathan ui book? I think he also mentioned the fundementals like you but im not sure

[@MalewiczHype]

if you mean refactoring then it’s great, geared a little more towards frontend developers but great.

[@Titan-pp9jz]

@@MalewiczHype thanks for your quick answer 😀 and yes i meant this book. i want to learn ui/ux and already worked a little with figma however i want to learn fundamentals first therefore i will use this book. Should i also do the free google course or is it enough to learn from your videos and refactoring

[@foxesonfire]

branding and graphic design is not UX

part of cx but I explain why I used this example in the video.

[@abdoo3301]

AI was pretty much a death bell for all the 30 sec tutorials and rectangle pushers, and now with financial crunches, it's only going to be worse. I hope actual experts like you help as many as possible 😌 also, editing is top notch as always.

[@MalewiczHype]

Pushing rectangles well is still worth learning but rather quickly to have time to fill the brain with true creativity 🫡

[@elle381]

The title stressed me out but I watched bc you always speak facts and present value. Thank you for delivering as always.

[@MalewiczHype]

Don't worry, it is changing and the name UX may not last long, but many of us are still pushing to make design relevant again and through innovation and creativity we'll do that. IT's just an end of an era but a beginning of a new, different one.

[@neilpearce]

Not blowing my own trumpet 🎺 but I've been thinking outside of the box for years with my UI designs, but I am always (mostly always) blocked by the limitations or laziness of the dev team. If I had a £$ for every time I heard..."Yeah looks great, but the dev team are concerned this section and this section and this animation, will take too long and cause scope creep.....blah blah blah!" It's one of the main reasons we post stuff on Dribbble, stuff that hardly ever goes into production, but we get to wet our whistle and showcase what we can do as designers.

[@mydesignerlife]

@malewicz Can you please suggest good databases/sites where one can access research on user flows? The ones which work and which don't?

[@thisissharmistha]

I acknowledge the validity of your insights, particularly the notion that the wheel has already been invented hence I was really looking forward to some practical advice in your videos. However, I've noticed that most of your videos are just about promoting your courses, which makes sense. But for newcomers like me in UX design with limited funds, free resources are our mainstay. I was hoping to find useful insights in your videos, but many seem centred around your paid courses. It would be awesome if you could create some content for folks like us too.

[@MalewiczHype]

what do you mean? 90% of my videos are not at all about my courses :) I have 3 full playlists for beginners to learn from and I actually advise people to start with those before buying anything (from anyone) - hours of free learning :)

[@thisissharmistha]

My apologies if I came across too critical in my previous comment. Perhaps I have missed some valuable content you've already shared in your earlier videos. It's just that, as a newcomer to UX design trying to find my way with limited resources hence hoping for a bit more guidance. I'll definitely check out your older videos to get a better picture. Thank you.
