In both American and Brazilian tech communities, 'thoughtless design' is increasingly criticized as companies focus more on user-centered design philosophies. This term is commonly used in UX/UI discussions, startup critiques, and design education to highlight the importance of empathy and accessibility in the design process. In Brazil, there's growing emphasis on inclusive design ('design inclusivo') as an alternative to thoughtless approaches.
