Here’s how to keep moving forward. — Good UX writing takes time. Time to simplify phrasing, make interactions clear, and craft every sentence in the product. But there’s only so much you can do when you’re rewriting. Sometimes good UX writing also involves rethinking. Is this screen doing what it needs to?

The most common types of transactions — withdrawal, deposit, checking a balance — could now be automated away. But bank tellers didn’t go extinct.
