The more complex you make something -- even if it's only structured, constructive complexity -- the more people you are excluding. Simplicity is accessibility
I can forgive constructive complexity -- abstract philosophy, high art. But the addition of unnecessary complexity specifically for the purpose of excluding as many people as possible is all too common, and something to push back against.
I do feel like a lot of professions deliberately obfuscate language in order to build a sort of wall so that the average person may remain in the dark, the insurance and financial sector being the most notorious.
Especially moonshining. https://learntomoonshine.com/common-moonshine-terms …
The question for me is whether it is an oversight, basically due to negligence, or whether it is an active choice of indeed obfuscation.
In my experience in digital most individuals actually mean well, so I have seen more "oversight". Various underlying assumptions.
I also don't know if many programmers have the sense that their code will really live on, depending on the project, and there isn't much institutionalization of documenting in many places of work
Following on, the question is whether digital practicioners across all disciplines (CS, UX, Product, DS) should all have a code of conduct, meaning a "duty of care" like the Hypocratic Oath which enshrined a duty of care for doctors.
I think so. Many éléments of such codea already exist actually such as the Ethical Toolkit launched by @OmidyarNetwork in July.
Thoughts?
I like that as a design principle. I wonder though if there aren’t important edge cases - or maybe said a different way, accessibility isn’t the goal of every design.
