Honestly, picking the destination first makes more sense.
But the primary law of UX is you don't change shit up on people. I'd have taken a stand if I was on that team
Curious why you think destination first makes more sense.
I just can’t get over the idea that when you move a thing to a different place, you go to where the thing is first so you can take it to the new place.
Sure... If I want $300 in an account, that's my goal. I don't want to decrease another account by that amount
So my goal is to move X money into Y account, or maybe all but X money into Y account
The second half is where it comes from. It's not the goal, it's the means
But again as I said, flipping this is a worse solution than either direction
You must be an electrical engineer or something, since you're apparently so used to thinking about flows backwards.
Seems a convoluted way of looking at it to me, but i guess it's just another case of different strokes for different folks.
I mean, I do this professionally, I took courses that break down what makes something feel intuitive
I don't doubt that, but courses are selected/designed by their teachers - who likely select what fits their pre-existing biases. Virtually nothing humans do comes out without biases affecting things, which is what makes the "reproducibility" of studies such an important part of science - and even those reproductions need to be done numerous times by varying parties for the results to truly start to become trustworthy.
In short: there's no pleasing everybody, but if you're going to try then you must allow for differences in views and modus operandi.
You realize this is actually a field of study? Like, this isn't a particularly soft science... Companies have done massive A/B campaigns and written papers on it, universities do studies on it... It's not just opinion
Yes, as it has been for decades. I also learned some about it back in the early days of the '80s into the '90s. It's constantly evolving along with the tech (and the capabilities of the current majority of users), so there's never been much of an absolute set of standards that have withstood the test of time. Again, there are a wide variety of people in the world - all with their own perspectives and ways of doing things. As such, the goal of a universally intuitive interface - while laudable - is a bit of a quixotic pursuit, IMHO. At least until it fully resembles & interacts like real-world objects & beings, anyway.
ETA: They're more likely eventually going to settle upon a set of standards that is based upon what users have collectively already been forced to learn from using existing interfaces. Once the vast majority of the world's population is used to and on board with the same way of doing things, that will likely become the "standard" by default. For example, a growing number of people today are only comfortable using their phone, and have never really learned how to use a computer with a similar level of comfort. It will likely remain that way until some new major "paradigm shift" in tech happens (like the shift from PCs to phones) that starts the process anew.
When you pay a bill, do you select who you're paying then the amount from whichever account, or do you select the amount from an account and then select the company you're paying?
If you think of it in physical terms , when you move something you have to grab it from its source then go to the destination.
Like even moving money to pay for something, you take out of your wallet and hand to the cashier.
Even computer filesystem management is: copy source destination, move source destination
Can also think like this, "I have an invoice that I need to pay. So I need to pay to there, let me figure out where to get the money from", i.e. impetus/problem-based thinking instead of process-based thinking.
The process is
move X to Y, but the need to get something toYactually came first, likeYis an invoice, or an account that is overdrawn, or whatever.Ycreated the "problem" initially, and thenmoving from Xis the "solution".This is in a personal bank account though not inter company business
It depends on how you look at it, and how it's presented
You don't fill a hole by grabbing dirt and finding a hole, you realize you need to fill a hole, and then you grab/buy materials to fill it in with.
It's just a matter of approach. You can frame it in either direction
You still have to move dirt from source to destination, especially if there are multiple holes. But yeah maybe they should have a UI toggle
