    I make the atrocious apps for work.

    Let me tell you, every out of place button or weirdly niche function placed prominently on the main screen is the fault of some bastard who won’t buy the system from us until it’s just as ugly as their old system, and they’ve got just enough money for us to have to give a fuck about it.

      No you don’t when I say proprietary I don’t mean the company hire a different company to make the app, I mean dog shit apps done by the company dev team that does not care at all about how it looks and just care to be functional. Some of those UI are so atrocious that some of the team members rather do api calls through terminal then use them!
