Which came first? The UX or the UI?

Title: UX and UI, Chicken and Egg
Context: Wait for the next installment, when we discover that the reason the chicken crossed the road was to refactor its UI.
Synopsis: While this short video includes some questionable Latin translations it nonetheless raises the interesting and eternal question of what comes first; the user experience or the user interface? Much like the age old chicken v egg timeline debate, the ordinal implementation of a product’s UX and its UI is often a metaphysical conundrum. Can one really exist without the other as a preexisting condition? Perhaps we will never know the true answer, but what we do know is that the ongoing life and death cycle of UI renewal is necessary and part of the eternal dance we call “user experience”.
Best Bit: “We’ll say ‘What the f***? What’s going on here? This site sucks!’ That is called user feedback.”
