That chip on your shoulder against everything post-2007-ish must be pretty heavy.

Modern apps don't suck. Specific design patterns suck. Not all things modern adhere to those design patterns. Not all the patterns you mention suck.

If I were hiring you to design an interface, your aversion to "humanize pretty much everything" would kick me right off the list. It reeks of tech-saavy elitism.

I have no desire to design interfaces like the ones I described, so the feeling would be mutual.

I would, however, love to be at the forefront of an anti-design movement that rightfully crushes the monotony/monopoly of modern UX

And what is wrong with tech-savvy elitism? Are you saying I should just forfeit the lifetime I've spent obsessing over this stuff to have an edge up on life? Give in to the tyranny of walled-garden and cloud-hosted nonsense?

> Not all things modern adhere to those design patterns.

Could you give some examples?
