Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Wieso steht da zum Beispiel „Die Ausweis App ist nicht geöffnet“ statt „[…]nicht geöffnet oder die Erkennung läuft noch“ oder was auch immer, irgendwas um Nutzern zu erklären was grade abgeht. 000
Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Außerdem muss man sich für alles mögliche ständig neu anmelden als wäre es nicht möglich eine Login Session für 3min offen zu halten. Diese ganze vermeintliche hohe Sicherheit sorgt einfach dafür, dass Nutzer nicht in der Lage sind die ID zu nutzen und deshalb auf unsicherere Methoden wechseln. 110
Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Zusätzlich, dass die BundID ohne Nutzung gelöscht wird, dass ein Session Cookie gesetzt wird der bestimmte Anmeldeoptionen deaktiviert (und somit für eine bestimmte Fehlerkondition die Lösung nur durch löschen der Cookies möglich ist), and so on. 100
Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Die BundID / Ausweis App Kombi ist leider eine echte UX Katastrophe. Speziell die unsichtbaren Ladezustände, die teilweise über 30s gehen und nicht als solche zu erkennen sind oder die diversen Fehlerkonditionen die keine verständlichen Texte oder Hinweise zum weiteren Vorgehen haben. 100

Reposted by Moritz MahringerOliver Ash @oliverjash.me · 06/07/2025‘Vibe coding’ as a phrase is embarrassing to me. In an industry where the bar was already very low, it suggests we can care even less. It’s another step towards enshittification. The only way to make great software is to truly reason about the code and systems. There are no shortcuts. 716826

Reposted by Moritz MahringerPavel @spavel.bsky.social · 18/06/2025It's not just that the things built are low-quality. It's that also the wrong things end up built. You might've heard of "outcomes over outputs" - the idea that the things you make should have some kind of purpose beyond being there. People have to keep saying this because most teams don't listen. 1302

Reposted by Moritz MahringerPavel @spavel.bsky.social · 03/05/2025It's important to know that when tech bros say they are "data driven" what they mean by "data" is their own experience and the assumptions. This is why you regularly hear things like "UBI will destroy society" and "if you give away housing no one will work" despite all studies showing the contrary. 281501356

Reposted by Moritz MahringerPavel @spavel.bsky.social · 16/03/2025UX design is in disarray. The idea of design-for-use has been replaced with design-for-sales, and its incentives (make more features so that you have more shit to sell) don't align with user-centered work. In this issue, I investigate the ground-level view of how this happened and how to stop it.productpicnic.beehiiv.comWhy design goes wrong and how to set it right, part 1At the root of design's crisis is an incentives crisis throughout tech. But we have tools that let us cut through the magical thinking of feature factories - if we're willing to use them. 915932
Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Yes also in general to „premature optimization“: choosing appropriate data structures is not premature, because when you notice performance issues, it’s very hard to change. Cant believe how often this happens. 000

Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Interesting, I wonder why relative performance differs so much. Maybe I was hitting an edge case in Firefox.. 100
Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Have you tried Firefox? I tried doing full screen SVG filters and FF was even worse (>1s per frame) 100
Moritz Mahringer @mormahr.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Sure, it is for general stores, but this is more of a coherent brand/art thing. Intuitively limiting supply below demand is also bad for sales, but many companies make it work because it’s part of the „experience“ and hype. It being an experience vs. just a store is probably the motivation here. 210
