In 2024, I’m leaning into being a product-minded engineer by contributing more to Data, Product, Design To improve my Design chops, I’ll do some 30 min UI mash ups in the travel space to showcase changes I'd test First up, my old stomping ground @Intrepid_Travel

Katy Perry’s song has me yet again saying that celebrities need to hire a normal person on a fixed salary that they just quickly run things by to say “oh that will be taken so badly, no” and that person should be me

@Intrepid_Travel This time, Trova Trip. Not actually convinced this one is *better* but learning with every rep 1. Better contrast on ratings, add score 2. More explicit referral w/ label 3. Single CTA for primary customer 4. Social proof from creators 5. Improved ‘book’ copy for B2C 🪄

For context, I'm a big believer that engineers should be strong in at least one adjacent skillset (design, data, product mgmt etc) so I'm trying to sharpen my design/CRO skills by doing these 30-60 minute design revamps on a monthly basis: x.com/ChrisJCastle/s…

A few things I'd change about @Intrepid_Travel's PDP, above the fold: 1) Get images front + centre 2) Comparison info (reviews, duration) more easily scannable 3) Elevate more key info (start/end) 4) Footer - preview price, CTA to bottom right - easier clicking for right-handers

5. Leverage reviews, popularity, and longevity as trust signals in a part of travel with lots of challengers

3. Showcasing the breadth of trips in the input placeholder 4. Demote the date search to secondary so there’s only one input and get to product discovery faster. Might be the wrong on this one depending on the mental model of customers’ trip planning

Too much of a boomer to use Discord for Midjourney, so got Fooocus (free, open source, offline) up and running locally✌🏼

wrapped, but for GitHub: • 61% PRs blindly approved (top 2% worldwide) • 228 divs centred by CoPilot (you couldn't even centre this) • 26% revert rate (you have commitment issues) based on your profile, you have a 42% chance of being replaced by AI in 2024

Madeira is the ideal winter trip for Berliners: • 20+ degrees in December • 5x more sunlight hours • a rare direct flight from BER • hikes for working out • spectacular scenery • copious amounts of wine, seafood, and churrascarias

@ChrisJCastle It’s all fun and games until you suddenly own a house in rural Nicaragua and it’s a 24 hour flight from where you live…
