#### A survey of user-hostile games, apps, and software.

In this fireside chat, designer Jes Chuhta sits with Abner Coimbre to explore dysfunction in the software
industry in terms of user experience. Jes will dissect examples from the real-world and comment on stories
submitted by ticket holders.

We then turn our eyes to the rare examples that we consider good, wrapping it all up with a careful look
towards Handmade software<sup>*</sup> and how we might further improve in the UI/UX department.
