He did, actually! He posted about it.

Thoughts? How are you seeing UX structured in your org?

Trying to stretch one person across everything long-term? That usually means dropping research, working linearly, and cutting corners. It might work *short-term*, but it's rarely the path to products people love.

👉 In a 2-person team:
You need a *Planner* and *Designer*, both with solid research chops.

Honestly? That’s not sustainable—especially for a growing company.

🧵6/9

👉 In an ideal 3-person UX team:

🎯 UX Researcher – handles research + usability
🎯 UX Planner – owns IA + interaction flows
🎯 UX Designer – focuses on UI + visual design

🧵5/9

💡 *All of these* need to come together for great UX. But in the job market, I often see UX reduced to "everything except UI," and UI assumed to include VisD. And then comes the expectation: one person does it *all*.

Where:
🔹 UR = understanding what people actually *need*
🔹 IA = structuring features logically
🔹 IxD = mapping out how tasks get done
🔹 VisD = applying hierarchy, spacing, colors
🔹 UI = designing layouts and components
🔹 UText = verifying that users' needs are truly met

🧵3/9

To me, UX Engineering isn't just UI and visual polish. It's a whole ecosystem:

🔹 User Research (UR)
🔹 Information Architecture (IA)
🔹 Interaction Design (IxD)
🔹 Visual Design (VisD)
🔹 UI Design (UI)
🔹 Usability Testing (UTest)

Our immediate story on the tragedy. Multiple people confirmed dead and one person in custody.

We’ll have more information as we verify information through the night.
