"UX is the foundation of any successful product. It ensures a smooth and intuitive user experience, which is essential for user adoption and engagement. While UI adds the visual polish, it's built upon that strong UX foundation.

"Whenever I find resistance to my idea, my general approach is to :
Validate my idea
Identify if it is a political reason or is it a valid engineering tech reason
Assuming it is not political but it is resource/difference of opinions that are causing resistance.
