How should an application handle missing information without showing fixed teaching text?

A user interface should not contain fixed teaching text. If data is missing, a button should be disabled or a section hidden. A generic template should never be used as a fallback.

The rule

A user interface should not contain fixed teaching text.

If data is missing, a button should be disabled or a section hidden. A generic template should never be used as a fallback.

An application should not display pre-written teaching messages. If data is not available, the application should disable the relevant button. Alternatively, the application can hide the section that needs the data. A general placeholder or template should not be shown instead of real data.

A developer creates an application that shows a student's progress. If there is no progress data for a student, the 'View Progress Report' button is disabled. The application does not show a message like 'Progress report coming soon'.

Should an AI model generate content JSON?

An AI model should not generate content JSON. Content JSON is a specific type of data.

When should a developer use the Batch API, and what are the risks?
