I’d* better write some documentation

A proper engineer would make the tag absorbent and use the principle of capillarity to transfer the water to the bag (and the other way round once tea flavoured) to cover this case.

Users can’t avoid being stupid, but a proper engineer should be able to cover all cases.

If you have access to any kind of UX and UI folks, you automagicallly get a leg up on this, y’all. It is goddamn amazing.

Single dev on a personal project? Go find someone in the community who has an eye for design or hit up a design forum. Work has you on a project with only two other devs and limited resources? Ask for a favor from the UX team down the hall.

We are all tryna make good experiences out here. Let us avoid getting ‘teabagged.’

I design optics and I've seen a return request because they "couldn't see the target" and included photos to show what they meant. The customer installed it backwards and didn't bother trying the other way.

If it can be mounted both ways it should work both ways. 🤷‍♂️

Speaking as a user (I’m not a programmer even if I’m often loafing around here):

Left is not “optimistic” but “assumptive” - blame the dev and the user.
Right is not “pessimistic” but “diligent” - blame the user.

But the worst type doesn’t appear in this pic: they’d put a ball of chicken wire around the label so it’s physically impossible to put it in the hot water.

Smart developer: let’s make the label an 8 inch square so it won’t fit in any mug.

User: Folds square in half to fit into mug.

End user: makes tea in a large pot, to fit the label.

Huge waste of material on the label.

Since the labels are larger, the boxes for those tea bags will need to be larger too. That incurs in additional waste of material and storage space.

People working in markets selling those tea bags will complain. Now their boxes don’t fit in the aisle alongside boxes with tea bags of other brands.

Customers will find it clunky and convoluted. Some will understand why the dev did it, and get angry - because from their PoV it’ll sound like the dev is saying “I assume that you’re a muppet, unable to distinguish the label from the bag”.

And some will still do like others said: use a larger pot, fold the label, etc. Defeating the purpose of the change.

There are plenty situations where you can be smart. This is not one of them, stick to standards and document it properly. “This is the bag, it goes in. This is the label, it goes out.”

(Not that it changes much for me. I’m still ripping the tea bag apart and mixing the contents with my yerba mate. Unexpected use case!)

And then a users starts adding weights to the label until it passes.

I write graphics software that almost seems intuitive, until you realize I gave it a split personality.

Even I forget about the split personality side of it.

Hmm … Better pigeon hole users into only using the teabag.

“Why can’t I put the label in the water?!”

Our legacy system always puts the label in the water and our clients rely on the faint cardboard flavor.
