Top things we need to learn about UX
summary
Workshop condenses Jakob Nielsen’s analysis of 249 systems into actionable rules that teams apply to GUI and CLI: enforce label consistency, prevent errors with inline checks (example: block weak passwords and show green/red state), simplify recovery flows (example: Cockpit shows failed service, explains cause, and offers a one‑click restart), and surface context docs via question‑mark help linking to full articles. Exercises reword tooltips and dialogs using PatternFly guidelines, imperatives, and present tense.
