@mikedotsullivan @WeBuild_Agency Looks like a nice build for the money, great fork. Not sure if I would be changing a 909 for it though over some component upgrades on current bike? What sort of stuff do you ride and why don’t you like full squish?

We've got some great projects coming on at Fare and we'll therefore be looking for some on-hand support. If you know of any freelance product designers, send them my way!

@andybudd My degree was absolutely useless, and not once have I been asked about it in any way during an interview. I learned a lot about Macromedia Director and had a great time being a student. I’d do it again tomorrow!

To summarise the answers in this thread. If you studied a UX related degree you believe that UX degrees are important. If you’re self taught, you believe that it’s OK to be self taught.

@andybudd Yeah that’s probably a fair way of looking at it. Hopefully it’s not an outright intention of a team and like you said, the result of competing goals.

@wstn However I’d argue that the whole “nobody sets out to create an uninitiative interface” may be a neat concept but is also a straw man argument that’s ultimately irrelevant.

‘Creative’ or ‘innovative’ folks flocking around where the money lives is somehow construed as causation, directly attributed to $. Every SV apologist has somehow made the one mistake that every fuckin startup drills into their teams’ heads; correlation is not causation.

‘Money fuels innovation so capitalism is good’ is the laziest silicon valley take that doesn’t revolve around pipelines or diversity. Pure fuckin neoliberal propaganda.

getting accused of ripping off a site you’ve never seen before for a product you’ve never heard of is always fun.

@wstn Is right lad! The 'smoking in a dream then waking up guilty then realising it was just a dream' thing has been pretty common for me; pure emotional rollercoaster to deal with at 7am like.
