Career & Value
Why Developers Who Understand UX Get Paid More — And Promoted FasterMost developers treat UX as the designer's problem. They hand off the spec, build what's in Figma, and ship. The developers who don't do this — the ones who ask why a button is placed there, who can articulate the conversion impact of a form's error states — they're the ones getting promoted. Here's the data, and here's how to become one of them.
Performance & UX
The Hidden Connection Between Core Web Vitals and UX Nobody Talks AboutYour Lighthouse score isn't just a performance metric — it's a direct readout of how your users feel when they land on your page.

5 UX Mistakes Developers Make Without Realizing It — And How to Fix Them TodayAfter 6 years of shipping production code, I've made every single one of these. Placeholder text left in production.

UXPays is written by a professional UX/UI Developer and Designer with 6+ years of shipping production code — Next.js, TypeScript, multi-locale architectures, CMS integrations. Not a designer guessing at code, and not a developer guessing at design. Both. Every post is grounded in the full stack of real work: pixels to production, wireframes to warehouse, real mistakes and real results.
