Grab it Watch a 27-minute conference talk exploring why developer platform consoles should maintain simplicity and minimal logic in their user interfaces. Learn from Viktor Farcic of Upbound as he critiques common mistakes in developer portal UI design, emphasizing how many platforms deviate from the proven principle that effective UIs should be "dumb" and API-dependent.
