Ephie Risho and Jason Moore took one innocent UX statistics article … and somehow ended up debating milliseconds, Clippy’s resurrection, DVD trauma, Montana newspapers, AI-fueled app revolutions, and whether modern design has a soul.

Welcome to UXPERTS. In this episode, we dive into mobile dominance (98.1% of 60–64 year-olds have mobile internet — which means yes, your aunt is online), why your site has 50 milliseconds to make a first impression, and why you probably have less than 10 seconds before users emotionally ghost you.

We also cover:

• Why “mobile-first” doesn’t mean “spreadsheet-on-a-phone”

• The hockey stick growth of UX careers (spoiler: the sky is not falling)

• The 1 UX to 10–20 developer ratio (and why that should make you uncomfortable)

• Aggressive popups and why 59% of websites need to calm down

• Cookie-cutter design vs. innovation (aka “Why AI might make everything beige”)

• A passionate defense of VHS, cassettes, and legacy tech archaeology

• A surprise Clippy cameo that lasted way longer than it should have

This one gets surprisingly philosophical toward the end — in the best possible way. If you care about: the future of UX, the future of work, the future of design in an AI-saturated world, or just enjoy hearing two UX leaders argue about math in public…You’ll enjoy this one.

As always, let’s design a better experience for all.
