Nice! Time to create another donut.

The problem is you have to do this city by city and they are so many local regulations not to mention how cheap they are with budgets.
Once developers know this system exists, coding front ends becomes a lot easier.
Here is a helpful guide on the role:
Depending on the size of company you're in there is a specialized role that bridges the gap. At Google it's called a UX engineer, other companies call the roll Design Technologist (DT).
DTs have a technical understanding of what's possible but work in UX and typically produce prototypes to assess technical feasibility of solutions. You can use these prototypes for stakeholder reviews, usability testing and they really derisk the build process.
We had a really bad time of changing things in production multiple times which would take forever before we started prototyping and practicing iterative design and design thinking.
Often we know it won't work because of intuition/experience but providing a best effort steelman option when presenting design options is very helpful in speeding through stakeholder reviews. Stakeholders will eat you alive in a review if you present a strawman of what they asked for.

I see a lot of products these days using more of a hybrid approach. Some of the most basic buttons to get new users used to the product and discovering what it can do. Then adding in a CMD/CTRL + K search menu for when users reach a better understanding of the product and just need to get shit done.
There is a fine line between too basic and too advanced (depending on the audience for your product) and a challenging thing for most UXers is balancing new user onboarding against the power users of your product.
> These include, but are not limited to: falsely claiming an endorsement by a third party; misrepresenting whether an endorser is an actual, current, or recent user; using an endorsement to make deceptive performance claims; failing to disclose an unexpected material connection with an endorser; and misrepresenting that the experience of endorsers represents consumers’ typical or ordinary experience.
Is the notice here you just can't advertise the fake reviews? Nothing on actually trying to curtail the fake reviews that show up on commerce sites?
Genuinely curious if commerce sites will need to start policing reviews.
We call ourselves software developers in Canada.
According to Canadian engineering[1]: The "practice of engineering" means any act of planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising, or managing any of the foregoing, that requires the application of engineering principles, and that concerns the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare, or the environment.
To be considered a work of engineering, then, that a piece of software (or a software-intensive system) must meet two conditions:
1. The development of the software has required “the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software.”
2. There is a reasonable expectation that failure or inappropriate functioning of the system would result in harm to life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare, or the environment

11.5% of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP). $265.5 billion, or $ 7064 per person. Imagine that will go up with covid...
Right now in Ontario 80% of covid cases are coming from non fully vaccinated individuals(1).
It costs $23k to treat a covid patient and $50k if they reach the ICU(2). Chances of not landing in the ICU are 99.9% if you're fully vaccinated(3).
Many health resources are going to treat covid instead of things like elective surgeries. Allowing non-essential businesses to fully open without a vaccine passport will only lead to more cases and more resources being wasted.
The thought of getting injured right now is scary because I could wait years for something like a herniated disc surgery (which is very debilitating). I'd much prefer we take steps to take as much strain off the health system as we can.

I'm curious, what tasks do you find more complex?
Facebook did just that with React. React doesn't have to be used only as a single page app. Use it for just a single component on a page if you want.
> One of the starting points of the modern UX discipline was the application of psychology to industrial design in the 1940s. During World War II, Alphonse Chapanis (among others) worked to understand why pilot errors caused a large number of B-17 bomber crashes during landings. He noticed that the lever that pilots used to lower the landing gear and the one that lowered the wing flaps were identical and differentiated only by placement. This similarity caused pilots to mix the two up, especially in high-stress moments such as landing a plane. Chapanis helped redesign the controls on the B-17 bomber to avoid pilot error by changing the shape of one of the two levers, so pilots could quickly tell which lever they had in hand.
