How can a developer avoid wasting time when designing user interface elements?

A developer must always ask the user to describe what the user wants. The developer must not build visual elements based on assumptions. This prevents wasted time and ensures the user's needs are met.

The rule

A developer must always ask the user to describe what the user wants.

The developer must not build visual elements based on assumptions. This prevents wasted time and ensures the user's needs are met.

A developer should always ask the user to describe what the user wants to see. Do not build a user interface component without this conversation. Do not rely on personal ideas of 'clean' or 'good design'. This stops the developer from making assumptions. Assumptions can lead to many redesigns and wasted time.

A developer thinks a modal window needs a new look. The developer redesigns it based on what the developer thinks is 'clean'. The user sees the new design and says it is not what the user wanted. The developer must then redesign it multiple times. This wastes a lot of time for both the developer and the user.

How should a developer design the mobile display for AI-generated text results?

A developer must follow industry standards for mobile design. This includes typography, tap targets, and action patterns.

How should a developer deliver a new feature after it is approved?
