Thinking in User Experience for Engineers reframes user experience as a property of system behavior rather than a UI or design concern. The book examines how engineering decisions around latency, failure, state consistency, retries, recovery, and system boundaries directly shape user trust and behavior over time.

Written for experienced engineers, it focuses on real production systems rather than visual design theory or UX frameworks. Through concrete scenarios and mental models, the book explains why good interfaces cannot compensate for unreliable system behavior, how users learn to distrust systems through repetition, and why recovery and predictability matter more than polish.

This is a systems-first UX book for engineers responsible for building long-lived, trustworthy software.
