@shanemo @mannki Thanks @shanemo it’s always fun presenting with the incredible @mannki

@tdhc @mannki Don't know what happened to the link. youtube.com/watch?v=5WtLXQ…

Goodness gracious this is a good presentation by @tdhc and @mannki on how to have impact as a UXer. It's not just about learning all the techniques!

@michaeltaranto Ooo brilliant. Love it! :D

@tdhc 😆 ☕️ A custom combo to suit my narrow nook. Plus I'm always looking to save a buck 😁 - Artiss Roskos III Frame - Ikea Åmilden Table Top And to scratch the itch, San Pedro Super X beans 😘👌

Shifted my laptop up next to my monitor rather than underneath. One of the best ergonomic improvements I've made! No more looking down

PSA: Unfortunately, the acronym MVPs now stands for “Ship Crap Quickly.” If your team isn’t establishing (based on extensive user research) what the acceptable criteria are for “minimal” and “viable”, you’re likely not shipping a “product” that will ever make customers happy.

I’m looking for a bit of help to gather audio samples to train this Loopy Pro feature which will automatically find the perfect loop. In case anyone has a spare moment: forum.audiob.us/discussion/389…

“Scrum and UX share the same high-level goal, which is to produce great products and services that create value for people.

Getting a UX designer embedded on every team is a fantastic achievement for most organizations. It shows commitment to producing great experiences and is very difficult to accomplish. articles.uie.com/design_infused/

I’ve come to believe that ‘alignment’ is a business code word for ‘getting everyone else to stop arguing with me.’

"We're introducing a design system so that when we make a change, it'll go everywhere." "Cool, so we'd like to change this component." "Don't do that—it'll go *everywhere!*"

@hillel Amazing! Best chocolate I’ve ever had 🍫

I’m so excited! Todd Masonis from @dandelionchocolate, my favorite chocolate in the universe, came to talk to us at #oracledesign week 2019 about their commitment to quality and attention to detail. And then we get to taste! #chocolatetastingatwork

If you want to do user research you can rely on, you need to start by understanding the difference between the questions you want to answer and the questions you ask. Read this pls.

Elf, Home Alone, Nightmare Before Christmas and more! Who knew you could watch these Christmas movies as part of work! Eleanor McKenna shows us why... @onepixelout uxmas.com/2018/the-hidde…

"So, this design deviates pretty heavily from our design system—could you explain the reasoning?"

Pro design tip: If the user isn't understanding something, just add more stuff. Add more borders and colours. Add more arrows and tooltips. Add more explanatory text. Add more error messages. Just keep adding stuff until they get it. Then, say the design has been "validated".

Everyone writing code in your organisation is a designer, insofar as they're constantly making decisions that directly impact the user, in ways that were never explicitly defined by a “designer”.

This is the philosophy driving design systems—on the surface it might seem like they're about design perfection, but they're really about design *iteration*. twitter.com/Aimee_Knight/s…

👨‍🎨 Here's the design. 👩‍💻 Ok cool, but this design is desktop only—there's thousands of other screen sizes we need to support. 👨‍🎨 My apologies. Here's two designs. 👩‍💻 ...
