The User is Drunk
squareweave
A short talk by Will Dayble of Squareweave arguing that you should design software as if the user were drunk: distracted, impaired in attention and vision, and prone to misreading. It is a user experience talk built around that framing.
HN users recommend it as a memorable, short way to build empathy for users' confusing mistakes and to design for distraction.
