“Treat others how they want to be treated”—the Platinum Rule is a compliment to the Golden Rule. It adds empathy to the golden rule’s projection.
This is particularly useful in diverse use cases, diverse user personas, and where user expectations and workflows vary. However, it does have a potential flaw for the dev—what if what someone wants a certain feature that’s not the ideal for their workflow, or the app’s purpose in the eyes of the dev? The Golden Rule, by grounding features and workflows in respect for the app purpose and core user functions, provides a more stable foundation in those cases.
A balanced approach is to treat others with the UI and UX they desire, within the application’s core purpose, and in alignment with your Why as the dev.
