Why do people keep saying "UI/UX"?

UI is user interface.

UX is user experience.

One is to be developed (with code), and the other is to be designed (in Figma for instance). They have very little overlap!

You design the UI while considering the UX. You only develop the UI, but you need to Design the UX and then design the UI considering UX before developing it.

In the same way that you are implementing the UI, you sometimes also need to implement the UX. Animations are part of the UX, preloading is part of the UX... That sort of things.

Uuuuhhh... Semantics. Preloading is an optimisation technique and animations I would consider part of the interface, not the experience. You design an experience with animations on the interface.

It's whatever, I don't have a strong opinion on it so if you feel like my interpretation is wrong go at it, not gonna defend it.
