The account where I talk about UX, science communication, writing, and other professional things I am paid to do.

Conversation designer and UX lead for a FI's chatbot project, but this account is super definitely very much not affiliated with them.

I've been on bluesky since the beta days but now it is finally time for me to make a grown up fancy Professional ™️ account to supplement my jokes and nonsense.

If you know my other account on here no you don't.

I know I don't have any followers on this acct yet to see me scream AMEN to this, but:

AMEN

You think taking time to build a feature with good usability (and accessibility!) takes time, wait till you've got 20+ features built on garbage UX established at the start "just to get something out"
Usability is like security: if you don't design around it from the very start, when you try to patch it on, unless you get lucky, you'll discover all kinds of architectural commitments that make it really hard, and you'll always play catch-up.
