@clacke fair enough but as the term actually encompasses two different skill sets it's a bit of a "particle/wave" kind of concept and ends up just being confusing. The fact that many startups actually do think the term means "pixel person" is the user testing that proves this design has failed

@jon_newby I don't see it that way. I want there to be a single term, e.g. UX designer, but with the understanding that there are MANY skills (not just UI) that are required to do the job. It's much better (and easier) to say there is one discipline (with many skills required to do it well, e.g. user testing, research, visual design, prototyping, etc) Using the term UX/UI does two things: 1) Obscures the other skills needed and 2) confuses the hell out of stakeholders.

I feel like such an old man, yelling about the problems with the label "UX/UI designer" but every time I post, I get people agreeing it's totally awful and how much confusion it creates.

So I'm encouraged to continue as if it's so bad, then why in hell do we keep using it?
