In the follow up post he writes that many people commented this kind of work is beneath them and can be done by anyone and will just be automated away by ChatGPT. Say that at my company and I’ll reconsider working with you. So out of touch..

Oh, it's super hard to build good interfaces, I'd never claim otherwise. Everything user facing I build is trash and I know it, so I work with UI people. I would assert that most of what's made under the banner of "UX" by people who think they're good is also trash from a usability perspective.

(it's possible that the ux people are optimizing for something other than end users getting their stuff done, like conversion rate. But that doesn't make a trash interface good, it just means you get to pay your mortgage this month.)
