Technical Constraints
Technical constraints are the physics of the digital world: latency, memory, computing power, networks, software dependencies, legacy systems, and security architectures.
They define how fast, how stable, and how secure a system can be.
An idea that ignores them is not innovative – it is fragile.
Excellent UX is not created by ignoring technology,
but by designing in harmony with technical reality.
