In the Dark: The Infinite Usability Test

The real horror? It’s not the prototype that’s broken… It’s her process. Today, we’re trading our usual interviews for a Halloween story straight out of every designer’s worst nightmare: The Infinite Usability Test. Meet Evelyn—a mid-level UX researcher running a morning of user tests that won’t quit. Every time she adjusts the design, another “Alex” walks in and repeats the same fateful words: “I can’t find the button.” As the day unravels, Evelyn realizes she’s stuck in more than a bad sprint—she’s caught in a validation loop. Each fix only pulls her deeper into the same mistakes, and each round of testing brings her face-to-face with the one insight she’s been avoiding all along. Because sometimes, the scariest thing in UX isn’t user feedback… It’s hearing something you didn’t expect. Join us for a hauntingly familiar tale about deadlines, doubt, and the difference between proving you’re right and learning that you’re not. Will Evelyn escape the room—or will she keep testing until the end of time? Tune in to find out… if you dare. —– Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoyed today’s episode.
