In the Dutch postcode lottery, they draw a random postcode (roughly a street) and everyone that lives there and has a ticket wins. The wider area code (village level) win smaller prizes.
People get FOMO - what if my neighbors become millionaires but I didn't have a ticket?
And in this case, some code very close to theirs won. It makes it seem you missed out by a tiny margin.
You have to buy a ticket - presumably you have to commit to an address somehow at that point, so people can only buy for one postcode even if they're lying. Unless there's a skewed outcome that shouldn't really matter. (And if there is a skewed outcome...the people who'd bought the winning postcode and didn't have a house on that street would be under heavy scrutiny!)
Jetbrains+refactoring - don’t get your hopes up. In Android Studio refactoring was broken for 5+ years and ticket is one of most voted. And nothing happened.
How can you post those emails and make a joke out of them - they have this footer that clearly states that if you are not a recipient you must delete the email immediately. Whole business world have this footer for a reason, for situations like this, so you can be sure your emails will not go public.
That has nothing to do with actual bad UX, those are made up UX… jokes? pranks? I don’t know how to call it.
But it shows a bigger problem: the generation of designers grew up on abhorrent design that Figma normalised. They don’t know what bad is, they won’t recognise bad. Only outrageous made-up UX “pranks” are bad to them. How about showing an actual bad UX of Figma on their podcast?
Lowering the plank towards a fantasy bad UX makes any UX above it good.
