This is my pinned tweet.

You'll probably never see this, but I joined BSky. Not intending on posting on here anymore.

I got some new followers after being mentioned in an article about UX folks to follow. Thing is I don't really post on here anymore. The fact that none of you will see this post is partially why. I post about UX on LinkedIn these days. linkedin.com/in/davidhamill/

Whenever I see someone mention Bryan Coquard on cycling commentary, my head is just full of this - youtu.be/7LmrkCGezTU

I've come to notice on Instagram that there's this stuff that Americans call 'Dijon Mustard'. I don't know what that shit is, but isn't Dijon mustard.

@RJSCOYSW @ManOnTheGreen @GaryLineker That's the very reason why they are doing it.

@RJSCOYSW @ManOnTheGreen @GaryLineker Roger makes a great point. The evidence suggests that blaming everything on immigrants and asylum seekers is actually a vote winner in England.

I have never known such love and support in my life than I’m getting this morning (England World Cup goals aside, possibly). I want to thank each and every one of you. It means a lot. I’ll continue to try and speak up for those poor souls that have no voice. Cheers all. 👊🏻

@dustopian @brucel @3DPrintedM1A1 @JesseKellyDC Whoooosh!!

@brucel @3DPrintedM1A1 @JesseKellyDC You're welcome

@PavelASamsonov It's sometimes that useful and usable are both product concerns and 'pretty' is the design concern (over and above testing some Figma prototypes without really wanting to change their design).

One of the most dysfunctional team arrangements is when Product is responsible for "useful" and Design is responsible for "usable"

Can you make any famous names from a @Skyscanner search? Here's mine...

It's so lame that @Zoom can't simply delete your older recordings as you run out of space. Instead it disables recording entirely and forces you to go do that job for it.

@MarMurube @catarina_nyberg @ChrisSpalton @suthen I think the best way is to have the time not to take them at all. These days I watch everything back and don't work from notes at all. The best notes you will take are when you have the hindsight from having seen all the sessions.

It's time to talk about the best way to take notes during #UXresearch. Let's start a thread? @catarina_nyberg @ChrisSpalton @suthen

@Helenwyman41 @JeremyPowers I didn't hear any Sporza impressions but thanks for mentioning Dig in at the Dock Helen. You did a great job as always.

@dav_hamill @JeremyPowers I always had the real tv in Belgium but I can defiantly try! “Oh my” “tjonge, tjonge, tjonge” “we zullen zee” so listen out for them in commentary this weekend😂😂😂

It would be great if @gcntweet engaged @CXHairs to bring back the #Svenness videos or something very like it.

@Helenwyman41 @JeremyPowers Absolut!

@0zne The thing is, I have learned this behaviour so I check the notifications without it. By the time it appears, it's wrong. I think it's just bad design in the name of growth.

@dav_hamill oh yeah what I mean is that it increases activation with very little work. hence the term "growth hack". But definitely not a new acquisition method!

Twitter's best growth hack I know was adding latency to its notifications 🔴 Have you noticed how Twitter makes you wait for a few seconds before loading the notification badge? This gives you room to engage with the feed, which I bet has a significant impact on session time.

OK so I still had to hunt down a stream of the Belgian champs, but the point still stands.

@JeremyPowers and @Helenwyman41 could remind us of those old days, hunting down Sporza and Vier streams by slipping in the odd "oy oy oy" and "Vol gas" into their Worlds commentary for a laugh.
