| FWIW if you listen to Signals and Threads (the Jane Street podcast) they talk about this. They have dedicated UX designers who do relatively little code but focus entirely on making the UX as optimal for the traders as possible and one of them was on an episode. They talked about how most of the normal UX rules for SW go out the window because quants and traders have such different needs than "normal software". |

| From experience I can say that traders prefer extraordinarily little whitespace in their UIs. |

| I'd kill for tight UIs now. Everything insists on having 15000-mile wide margins, and at most two items visible on an 8K screen. We are at a point when TUIs from 1990s running in 12" screens with at best a 480x240 resolution display more info than almost anything we have now. |

| Probably because they skew towards higher information density |
