> Beautiful design is a failure anti-pattern.

I've been wondering about this recently myself. It does seem to be the case sometimes. Any idea why, or if this has ever been studied?



Pretty app - Ehh, I could add this new feature but it would make my menu go off screen, maybe I will skip it and work on making the profile icon sparkle.

Function ugly app - Ehhh I could research better fonts, but sans serif will work - let's go code some new featues.
