That is an easy one Ziya... history evaluates the work of the usability
professionals. If they drop the ball, everyone knows about it - after
the product/site/application is released. Hopefully there is enough of a
feedback loop that this history is captured adequately and they are
showered with praise, or, if they have screwed up, with something else
:) Only through thorough analysis will the few that get it right be
rewarded, and the rest, well, you can probably guess if you have read
Nietzsche or Darwin :) In this manner, the usability professionals that
survive long enough to breed (i.e. pass on the memes) will be somewhat
worthy of that status. For the rest, well, there is always tech writing
or government work :)
Cheers, Andrew
