39. “There's a big difference between building a feature to
satisfy a requirement and building one that is mindful of
the user. Patience for UX shortfalls is much lower than in
the past; users will gravitate towards the experiences
which are the most lightweight, get them to where they
want to go/what they're looking for the fastest.”
Derek Peplau
Director, Solutions Marketing, Acquia
