Don't be silly. Of course I didn't watch this 5 times, absolutely fascinated, zooming in closer and closer on each watch. That'd be weird.

"It cannot be extracted"... And yet somehow, here we are.

Held.

Reflected.

Seen.

Has the model been watching a lot of Ariana/Cynthia interviews recently, perchance?

104: The quality of design work is always going to be a function of its environment. Because the environment in most places is bad, your biggest impacts will come from improving the environment rather than your individual process.

101: LLM summaries of interview transcripts are just a spicy word cloud, and about just as useful.

51: You can never make "data driven" decisions until you recognize that emotions like fear and greed influence your decisions.

Awww 😊

UX fact number one: users don't want to use your product. Every button you force them to click is like a hook digging into their soul. Give them what they came for and release them from the suffering.

UX fact number two: designers should never learn to code. Code is like a gun - you start to think that because it is so powerful, it can be the solution to all your problems. In reality your problems are sociopolitical. Coding will not make you better at meetings.

UX fact number three: If you think meetings are a waste of time, you are a bad designer. Meetings are a tool, and if you don't know what the tool is for, you're probably assuming that all those things come for free and then get upset when people don't "appreciate design."

"The major difference between a thing "that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair"

Fabulous quote, thanks for sharing 😁
